The High Cost Of Dying And Other Stories (The Fantagraphics EC Comics Artists Library, 15)

A collection of Reed Crandall EC horror stories, some of which adapt Ray Bradbury.
Reed Crandall's mastery of fine line detail and expertly nuanced pen-and-ink texture is a perfect fit for EC Comics. This collection of 21 Crandall favorites, delineated in his classically illustrative style, includes â€œThe Silent Towns,â€ a Ray Bradbury story about the last man and woman on Mars; â€œCarrion Death,â€ a stark horror story about a man struggling through the desert with a corpse handcuffed to his wrist as the vultures circle closer; â€œSweetie-Pie,â€ the grisly story of a ghoul who sets up a roadside hazard to procure, um, fresh meat; â€œThe Kidnapper,â€ about a man who decides to kidnap a baby to replace the baby that had been stolen from him and his wife; â€œSpace Suitors,â€ a science fiction love triangle that leads to jealously, betrayal, and murder, and â€œThe High Cost of Dying,â€ the title story, in which a man must make an awful choice between burying his wife and feeding his children â€¦ Black & white illustrations throughout
