Description: Kamen's Kalamity And Other Stories by Jack Kamen, Al Feldstein, Otto Binder Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Twenty-seven horror stories by master comics artist Jack Kamen from the pages of Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Haunt of Fear -- including all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales." Bonus: seven crime and horror stories by other EC artists. Publisher Description Jack Kamens stories for The Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt, and The Haunt of Fear favored unnerving creepiness over gruesome shock. With his penchant for deft delineations of scheming women, jealous husbands, murderous love triangles, and not-so-innocent children, Kamens pen laid down a precise, sure line that brought each storys shock ending into sharp relief. This volume features 27 Kamen favorites, drawn at the peak of powers, including:"Kamens Kalamity," our title story, featuring the "true" origin story of the artist himself! When the pressures of drawing his stories, dealing with his editors, and pleasing his wife and kids become too much, comic book artist Jack Kamen loses it, and that night, when the moon is full "How Green Was My Alley," the cautionary tale of a traveling salesman who spends every other week at home with his wife. And every other other week at his other home with his other wife! In a grisly finale, echoing the EC shocker "Foul Play," Kamen leaves nothing to the imagination! "Beauty Rest" How far would you go to win a beauty pageant for the title of "Miss Corpse"? - Well, this contestant is willing to go even further than that! She had the looks, the ambition, and the smoldering sex appeal to play the worlds oldest game and snag the man of her dreams - the rich man of her dreams - but it was never more than "Only Sin Deep." Then, Kamen switches from horror to horror-humor for all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales," revealing the gruesome underpinnings of the classics. Youll never look at Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, or Little Red Riding Hood and their friends quite the same way again! Plus: seven bonus crime and horror stories by EC short-termers John Alton, Frank Bolle, Leonard Starr, Bill Fraccio, Rudy Palais, and Ed Smalle. Introduction by Thommy Burns. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists Library, Kamens Kalamity And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces. Author Biography The Brooklyn-born Jack Kamen (1920-2008) began his career as a pulp illustrator and spent his last professional decades as an illustrator, but is best remembered for his half-decade at EC (and his 1982 contributions to the EC-inspired movie Creepshow). Albert B. Feldstein (1928-2014; Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, 2003) was a triple-threat writer, artist, and editor, renowned for his work on such titles as Weird Science, Tales From the Crypt, and Mad magazine. He received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Otto Binder (1911-1974) wrote many science-fiction stories for early pulps, with "I, Robot" (Amazing Stories, January 1939) the best known. From 1939, he became hugely prolific in superhero comics, penning over half the total adventures of the Captain Marvel / Shazam extended universe for Fawcett Comics, writing most of the major characters at Timely (later Marvel) and Quality Comics, and co-creating dozens of DC Comics staples including the Legion of Super-Heroes, Supergirl, and Krypto the Super-Dog. His interest in science-fiction was motivated by a passion for space, and in later years he wrote speculatively about UFOs and edited Space World, a magazine about astronomics.
