From the company’s earliest days of its earnest Picture Stories titles to its kiddie, Western, and romance titles of the 1940s, through the heyday of such titles as Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Weird Science, Shock SuspenStories, Crime SuspenStories, Two-Fisted Tales, and Piracy, through its “New Direction” and “Picto-Fiction” period with titles such as Aces High, Extra, Impact, Terror Illustrated, and Confessions Illustrated — they’re all here!\n\nThese covers were drawn by the greatest array of artistic talent ever assembled at one comic book company (excepting Fantagraphics, of course). Their names are legend — Craig, Crandall, Davis, Evans, Feldstein, Frazetta, Ingels, Kamen, Krigstein, Kurtzman, Orlando, Severin, Torres, Williamson, and Wood. And most of these covers are colored by the equally legendary Marie Severin.\n\nEach of the hundreds of full-color covers is lovingly scanned from pristine original comics and presented in a lush, oversize format to show off with spectacular precision every meticulous line, brushstroke, and nuance of chromatographic splendor. But it doesn’t end there. This unique collection also showcases alternate covers, original artwork, paperback covers — even unpublished, “what if” covers by EC “grand old man” Angelo Torres tha\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative team:\u003c\/strong\u003e (W) Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, Frank Frazetta (A) Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, Frank Frazetta (CA) Johnny Craig\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow preorders work:\u003c\/strong\u003e every preorder is \u003cstrong\u003e20% off cover price\u003c\/strong\u003e.
