Long overlooked except by the most devoted EC fans, now we finally have a good archival reprint. The quality of artwork varies, as our EC boys were just learning their trade. Fine covers by Craig for every issue, plus a story of his also. Feldstein puts in five stories in six issues. Also: \u003cstrong\u003eShelly Moldoff, Howard Larson, Leonard Starr, Graham Ingels\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\n\"Thrilling tales\" of the conflict between gangsters and cops in what was described as \"Real Stories from Police Records!\"\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eJohnny Craig\u003c\/strong\u003e does all the covers and is generally the stand-out artist here. But we also have two fine stories by Ingels, \u003cstrong\u003eStan Ash, Frank Bolle\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eThe Black Phantom\u003c\/em\u003e) and Leonard Starr (who of course would go on to create \u003cem\u003eKelly Green\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMary Perkins\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as \u003cem\u003eMorbious the Living Vampire\u003c\/em\u003e for Marvel), Shelly Moldoff (Hawkman, Moon Girl), and Howard Larson (Avon work galore).\n\nForeword by \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lapham.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Horse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639798956318,"sku":"ECWA01H","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_e_c_ecwa01h-ec-archives-war-against-crime.jpg?v=1784474267","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/ec-archives-war-against-crime-volume-1","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
