{"product_id":"fall-guy-for-murder-and-other-stories-9781606996584","title":"Fall Guy for Murder and Other Stories","description":"Surrounded by the ornate, retro, proto-splatter horror graphics of Jack Davis and Graham Ingels and the slick, futuristic sci-fi stylings of Wally Wood and Al Williamson, EC Comics superstar Johnny Craig stood out in the 1950s with his elegant, crisp, contemporary graphic style. And nowhere did this style work more beautifully than in the dozens of superb crime and horror comics he wrote and drew for EC, mostly for the two comics he also edited, \u003cem\u003eCrime SuspenStories\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Vault of Horror\u003c\/em\u003e. (Craig was the only EC artist to habitually write his own material for the entire length of EC's run.) Featuring murderous husbands and wives, executioners, thieving surgeons, vengeful sword-swallowers, time bombs, private dicks, vampires, werewolves, and ghouls, the 23 stories in this book comprise a perfect encapsulation of the very best and darkest kind of noir and horror writing, stunningly executed (in more than one sense of the word) by one of the great cartoonists of his (or any) era. And all in seven or eight pages per story! \u003cem\u003eFall Guy For Murder And Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e is once again, as are the other EC Comic Library releases, supplemented with several fascinating essays and informative historical notes on the stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606996584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Johnny Craig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205066719413,"sku":"9781606996584","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9705bfa4-a85b-4757-bcb4-da01a3861877.jpg?v=1698128289","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fall-guy-for-murder-and-other-stories-9781606996584","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
