Forty Whacks
Forty Whacks: And Other Stories | Al Feldstein, Jack Kamen
1 post | 1 to read
Jack Kamen's precise, clean style was perfect subversion for EC Comics tales of seemingly normal men and women who cooly act on the rage, jealousy, and greed just below their glamorous façades. Kamen’s crime capers include “Forty Whacks” (Whatever became of that ax Lizzie Borden used?), “Contract for Death” (A suicidal man agrees to accept $5,000 for his fresh corpse, then changes his mind. But the contract fails to specify that the body has to be his…), “The Neat Job!” (Her “neat freak” husband drove her crazy, so when she chopped him up into little pieces…), “Just Desserts!” (A madman bent on revenge hosts a dinner for his victims … and the final course is a killer!) ? plus 20 more gripping tales of tension as only EC could do them!

The EC Artists‘ Library series from Fantagraphics Books is always amazingly put together with high quality print quality, great essays and fantastic offerings from the EC catalogue of stories. Forty Whacks is no exception. All scripts are by Al Feldstein with William M. Gaines and Ray Bradbury providing stories. All art is by Jack Kamen.
