About the series
From 1997 to 1998, EC revived its classic horror-comedy tradition with Tales Calculated to Drive You Mad, an eight-issue series that brought the publisher's signature blend of macabre humor and twist endings to a new generation. Written primarily by Frank Jacobs and featuring the indelible, cartoonish art of Jack Davis (alongside occasional photographic elements), the series served as a direct homage to the satirical, ghoulish spirit of EC's 1950s line. It matters as a late-career showcase for two of the industry's most beloved funny-men, offering a concise, gleefully morbid return to form for the iconic EC brand.
