It includes the full run of their collaborations, featuring the critically acclaimed 'Master Race' tale from Impact #1 (1955), along with other stories from EC's New Direction titles and additional material showcasing the artists' innovative storytelling and visual style.
"Derelict Ship" from The Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library #21 (2018) delivers a stark, unsettling tale of human cruelty disguised as spectacle, written by Carl Wessler and masterfully illustrated and inked by Bernie Krigstein, with lettering by Jim Wroten. Set in a world where entertainment is built on suffering, the story follows two couples—Felix and Lila, Aaron and Beatrice Scott—whose escalating rivalry over crowd-pleasing acts spirals into a chillingly brutal solution. The cover by Bernie Krigstein captures the story’s grim tone, making this a standout entry in the EC legacy.
