Description

The old EC books have a very special place in my heart. They were the stories that I feel solidified my love for horror and was my gateway to dig deeper into the historic aspects of the genre.

EC in my opinion housed some of the greatest talents to ever grace a comic page and the company itself had such a fascinating history. Despite these stories being generations apart from me, I can't help but feel nostalgia when I read these fantastic tales (perhaps due to EC being some of the first comics I picked up when I started reading). When reading these stories I would be most drawn to the work of "Ghastly" Graham Ingels. His artistic aesthetic of horror to me was just absolutely awe inspiring. I absolutely found it fascinating how he drew figures almost like they were melting wax. I also found that despite the subject matter I always found his work to be hauntingly beautiful; like sitting on the stoop of a long forgotten mausoleum and enjoying the glow of the full moon.I somehow find comfort in these often creepy tales; haha! Ever since seeing his work for the first time I vowed that if I were ever able to acquire an EC piece it would be from Ghastly. For me this page is a major milestone as I never thought that I would ever acquire an EC title page.

Major thanks to Mr. Bechara and Mr. Howland for the art and good time chatting.
