The Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library #39
In "My Gun Is the Jury!", Wally Wood’s sharp, expressive art brings to life a quietly devastating twist on love and legality, as a married couple’s routine argument spirals into a crisis when they discover their marriage was never valid. With inks by Harry Harrison and letters by Jim Wroten, the story unfolds with a wry, melancholic edge as Hank and Libby confront the fragile foundations of their relationship—only to find themselves drawn back together in a moment both absurd and tender. Al Feldstein and Wally Wood’s cover captures the story’s bittersweet tension in bold, classic EC style.
