In "Well-Cooked Hams!", a chilling tale from the early days of EC’s Tales from the Crypt, a woman’s twisted devotion to her late mother drives her to commit a series of calculated murders—each disguised as an accident—over six years. Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, with art by Joe Orlando and inks by the same, the story unfolds with a quiet dread that builds to a haunting climax. The cover, a stark and unsettling scene by Wally Wood, captures the story’s grim tone perfectly.
