The EC Archives: Two-Fisted Tales #4

Collecting issues 36–41 of EC's celebrated war anthology, this handsome hardcover volume brings together some of the most thoughtful and unflinching combat storytelling of the early comics era. The cover faithfully reproduces original EC artwork — a tense confrontation in close quarters, with a Black resistance fighter squaring off against grim-faced soldiers, while a speech balloon coolly understates the danger — framed by a striking column of historical military figures spanning 1770 to 1864. With a foreword by Colleen Coover adding a contemporary perspective, this 2019 Dark Horse archive edition is a genuinely rewarding way to experience these stories in a beautifully presented package.
