About this Collection

This volume from Fantagraphics' EC Artists' Library series collects a selection of crime and horror stories drawn by the legendary Graham Ingels, including the title tale 'Three for the Money.' Known for his moody, detailed style, Ingels was a standout artist for EC Comics in the 1950s, particularly on titles like Tales from the Crypt. The collection showcases his work on a range of stories, highlighting his mastery of shadow and atmosphere in the EC tradition.

"The October Game" is a chilling tale from the EC Artists' Library, showcasing the masterful storytelling of Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines, with stark, expressive art by Sid Check and precise lettering by Jim Wroten. In this haunting story, a man haunted by a fractured mind seeks redemption through a voodoo ritual, only to confront a truth far more unsettling than he imagined. The cover, a striking illustration by Jack Kamen, perfectly captures the eerie tone of the tale.
