The EC Archives: Crime Suspenstories #2

This handsome EC Archives volume collects more of Crime SuspenStories in a beautifully produced hardcover package, with cover art by Johnny Craig. The cover scene sets an immediately chilling tone: a desperate figure in a blue striped coat lunges toward a snow-dusted doorway, while a pair of legs — decidedly not attached to their owner — loom in the foreground, and a menacing face peers through the door's window. As a bonus, the volume also includes an illustrated terror-tale from Haunt of Fear, making this 2016 collection a genuinely rich showcase of EC's golden era of crime comics.
