“Came the Dawn” and Other Stories (The Fantagraphics EC Comics Artists Library, 2)

Taking its title from one of legendary comic artist Wally Wood’s all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller “Came the Dawn,” this collection features page after page after page of Wood’s preternatural brushwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein. These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear (“The Living Corpse,” “Terror Ride,” “Man From the Grave,” “Horror in the Freak Tent”) to often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories (“The Assault,” “The Whipping”). The breathtaking art is constant throughout.

Review

[Wood's] critique of the self-proud post-war American public reached the edge of McCarthy Era acceptability and sometimes went way beyond. [H]is art is brilliant. If anyone still thinks that comics were never more than time-wasters for escapist children, they will learn better here. --Paul Buhle"
