About this Collection

This volume collects the complete EC Comics work of artist Joe Orlando, focusing on his contributions to the publisher's horror, science fiction, and crime titles. Featuring stories from Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, Weird Science, and Crime SuspenStories, the collection showcases Orlando's distinctive, moody artwork and includes the classic tale 'Judgment Day,' a landmark story that addressed racial prejudice. The book also features historical essays and commentary, as is standard for this Fantagraphics series.

In "The Long Years!", a tense journey to Mars takes a shocking turn when one of the crew confesses he’s actually a Martian who built the ship to return home—only to be shot dead by his panicked comrades. Joe Orlando’s stark, expressive art and the chilling tone of Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein’s script make this a standout in the EC Artists' Library series. The cover, also by Orlando, captures the eerie unease of the moment perfectly.
