☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Concerto for Violin and Werewolf" delivers a chilling twist on the classic vampire tale, blending suspense and dark humor in a 1954 EC Comics standout. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Jack Kamen—his pencils and inks matched by Marie Severin’s bold coloring and Jim Wroten’s crisp lettering—this story hinges on a simple, fatal miscalculation. The cover, a standout by Jack Davis, captures the eerie tension with its dramatic, gothic flair.

A man who has just flown in into New York from Illinois ties up a man he suspects of being a vampire just before dawn and makes him lie in a coffin. When he doesn't fall asleep at dawn, he unties him, and the vampire leaps for his throat reminding him that Illinois is an hour behind New York and he forgot to reset his watch.
