The first issue in a series of one-shots spotlighting individual artists. I flipped through it before I bought it to determine whether it was new or a reprint. I didn't recognize any of the story, so I bought it. It wasn't until after I got home that I realized three of the four stories were reprints. That's okay; they were all really good stories. I would have bought it anyway.
- "Just Another Memory" - This is the one new story this issue, about a lobbyist who gets what's coming to him. Let's face it: this is the kind of story we read "EC" comics for.
- "A Crossroads Repetition" (from Epitaphs from the Abyss #3) - A look at "The Devil in American Mythology," specifically the "crossroads" motif featuring Robert Johnson.
- "Writer's Block" (from Epitaphs from the Abyss #6) - Where do writers get their ideas? This one gets his from the four kidnap vistims he has chained in his basement.
- "Death and Pickaxes" (from Cruel Kingdom #1) - A tale of Snow White and the eighth dwarf, Vengeance.
NEXT UP: David Lapham
