What is Foul play! : the art and artists of the notorious 1950s E.C. comics! about?
<p><P>Legendary publisher Bill Gaines is perhaps best remembered as the founder of <b>MAD Magazine</b>, but in the opinion of many dedicated comic book fans, his greatest achievement was E.C. Comics, a line of adventure, horror, and science-fiction comics whose influence on American graphic novels is undeniable, even today. <b>Foul Play!</b> is the perfect book for anyone wanting to understand the special place E.C. holds in the comic fan's heart — or who just wants to read some real good comics! <P> <b>Foul Play!</b> celebrates the fan-favorite creators of E.C. Comics, profiling their artists — a veritable who's who of mid-20th century popular illustration — and describing how they came to work with Bill Gaines and how their careers evolved after E.C.. Among the comics art legends profiled are Al Feldstein; Harvey Kurtzman; Johnny Craig; Jack Davis; Graham Ingels; Jack Kamen; Wallace Wood; Joe Orlando; Will Elder; John Severin; George Evans; Al Williamson; Reed Crandall; Bernie Krigstein; and more! Plus, the book includes a special bonus: a lost E.C. Comics story Wanted for Murder! originally intended to be published in 1956 but forgotten and unseen until now. <
