☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Agony and the Agony," a flamboyant boxer and restaurateur hires a celebrated artist to paint his restaurant’s ceiling, only to obsess over every brushstroke, turning the creative process into a battle of wills. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, this EC Comics satire hilariously skewers artistic pretension and the tyranny of perfectionism. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the escalating tension with a perfectly timed splash of absurdity.
