The Comics Journal Library #8

A grid of expressive, ink-rendered faces — anguished, horrified, wide-eyed, and wild — covers every inch of this volume, a fitting tribute to the artists who made EC Comics one of the most distinctive forces in American comics history. The Comics Journal Library Volume 8: The EC Artists gathers critical writing and interviews centered on talents including Will Elder, William M. Gaines, Al Feldstein, Johnny Craig, Frank Frazetta, Joe Kubert, Harvey Kurtzman, George Evans, Al Jaffee, and John Severin. Published by Fantagraphics in 2013, this is an essential deep-dive for anyone who wants to understand the craft and personalities behind EC's unforgettable visual legacy.
