☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Mother Knows Best," a 1955 EC Comics gem, Karen and Ralph take her father, Mr. Edison, to a tailor for a custom suit, unaware of the quiet weight of the moment. When the tailor returns weeks later to fix a missing label, he discovers a family in mourning—and a suit that now carries more than thread and fabric. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated with haunting detail by Graham Ingels, with colors by Marie Severin and letters by Jim Wroten, the story unfolds with a quiet dread beneath its everyday surface. The cover, by Jack Davis, captures the unsettling stillness of the moment.
In "The Suit," Karen and Ralph take her father, Mr. Edison, to a tailor shop to order a custom suit, a gesture tinged with quiet significance. When the suit is delivered, the tailor, Mr. Durley, returns days later to add his label—only to learn Edison has died, and the family now wants him buried in the very coat he’d commissioned.
