Forty Whacks And Other Stories: 14 (EC Comics Library) - Hardcover
Book 25 of 34: The EC Comics Library
Synopsis
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 €œForty Whacks€ (Whatever became of that ax Lizzie Borden used?), €œContract 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€), €œThe Neat Job!€ (Her €œneat freak€ husband drove her crazy, so when she chopped him up into little pieces€), €œJust 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! Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists€™ Library, Forty Whacks And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.

About the Authors
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.

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 facades. 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!"

Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, Forty Whacks And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces. Jack Kamen's deceptively slick art style provides counterpoint to these gory mid-20th-century tales of murder and mayhem.
