In "Split Personality!", a 1953 classic from EC’s Vault of Horror, writer and artist Johnny Craig delivers a chilling tale of deception and twisted romance. When a racketeer masquerades as two men to marry twin sisters, his elaborate scheme unravels in a shocking, grotesque twist. The cover by Johnny Craig perfectly captures the story’s macabre flair, while Marie Severin’s bold coloring and Jim Wroten’s crisp lettering bring the horror to life in a 10-cent comic from the golden age of EC.
