- Used Book in Good Condition
This entry in the EC series focuses on Jack Davisâ€™s work, with an emphasis on the horror genre.
Tales From the Crypt was the quintessential American horror comic book, and Jack Davis the quintessential Tales From the Crypt artist: A brilliant virtuoso whose long-limbed, cartoony-but-hyperdetailed slapstick both cut against and amplified the weird and nauseating grotesqueries that spilled from the EC Comics writersâ€™ fevered minds, including â€• as seen in this volume â€• â€œâ€™Taint the Meat... Itâ€™s the Humanity,â€ an evil-butcher horror story that ends pretty much like youâ€™d expect any evil-butcher horror story to end. Presenting the classic EC material in reader-friendly, artist-and-genre-centric packages for the first time, â€™Taint the Meat collects every one of Davisâ€™s 24 Crypt stories in one convenient, gore-drenched package. Mostly written by EC editor Al Feldstein, these stories run the gamut from pure supernatural horror (the werewolf story â€œUpon Reflectionâ€ and the vampire story â€œFare Tonight, Followed by Increasing Clottynessâ€¦â€) to science gone horribly wrong (â€œBats in My Belfry!â€), as well as the classic â€œdisbeliever gets his comeuppanceâ€ story (â€œGroundsâ€¦ For Horror!â€) to ECâ€™s bread and butter, the ridiculously grisly revenge-of-the-abused tale (â€œThe Trophy!â€ and â€œWell-Cooked Hams!â€)â€¦ seasoned with buckets of blood and some of the most godawful punning titles ever committed to newsprint. Tales From the Crypt was the inspiration for the no-holds-barred pop-culture horror revolution of the 1970s and later, be it Stephen King, Tobe (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) Hooper, zombiemeister George A. Romero, or the current generation of extreme-horror practitioners like Eli (Hostel) Roth. Yet try as they may, no one has been able to capture the combination of technical virtuosity, tongue-in-cheek grisliness, and sheer naughty desire to provoke and appall that these classics managed to pull off again and again. â€™Taint the Meatâ€¦ will also include extensive story notes by EC experts from around the world.
