Twenty-two crime, horror, and science fiction stories by master comics artist Reed Crandall. Plus: eight crime and horror stories by fellow EC artist George Roussos.

Reed Crandall was an undisputed master of fine line detail and expertly nuanced pen-and-ink texture. He was a perfect fit for EC Comics, and he brilliantly illuminated sharp scripts featuring schemes, tricks, betrayal, and retribution in the company’s crime, horror, and science fiction titles.

This volume features 22 Crandall favorites from the pages of Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, Shock SuspenStories, Weird Science-Fantasy, Extra, and Impact, including: “Dog Food,” one of EC’s best revenge stories, featuring a sadistic prison camp warden who abuses his dogs to keep them mean ― to terrorize his prisoners. And no, it’s not the twist ending you might expect ― which is why it was voted by fans as one of the top three EC horror stories. “The Shadow Knows” in which a man who murders his wife is pursued by her shadow everywhere he turns. “The Bitter End” in which a wealthy businessman tries to force his only son into becoming the hard-driving executive he needs to take over the family business. “Close Shave,” a science fiction parable about love overcoming racial prejudice and division. “Swamped,” voted by fans as one of the top three best illustrated EC horror stories of all time, is the grisly tale of a demented ghoul living in the Okefenokee Swamp. Plus: eight crime and horror stories by fellow EC artist George Roussos and an introduction by Jon Gothold.

Author: Tyler Jensen & Adam Battaglia

Ranger Stranger is a dark comedy graphic novel where a deranged park official leads campers to deadly situations instead of safety. For adult readers and outdoor lovers.

Ranger Stranger is about a deranged forest ranger left in charge of the fictional wilderness Hackaneck National Park – a vast BobRossian landscape of breathtaking meadows, lakes, and vistas for the adventurous camper to enjoy.

Unfortunately, everything – the flowers, the deer, even the park official – wants to murder you.

Sound scary? Oh, it is. Especially with Ranger Garland Woodburn on the trail. Don’t let the classic Hollywood leading man smile fool you, Woodburn’s passion for nature and proclivity for horror-homicide struggle to maintain balance in his addled mind.

But not all is lost. Each episode pulls from a myriad of real outdoor topics such as hiking, fishing, or toad licking. The novel is designed like a stylish 1950s field guide written by a guide with questionable knowledge of the field.
