E.C. Classic Reprint #10
"Creep Course" delivers a chilling, atmospheric tale from the early days of East Coast Comix, a 1974 reprint that stands out for its raw, unsettling tone. Written, drawn, and inked by Jack Davis—his distinctive, grotesque style on full display—this story follows a desperate convict fleeing through a treacherous swamp, pursued by a silent, monstrous figure wielding the very club he used to commit a brutal crime. The haunting journey, colored with eerie precision by Marie Severin and lettered by Jim Wroten, culminates in a twist that leaves the mind reeling, all framed by the legendary, macabre cover by Graham Ingels.

An escaped convict beats in a woman's skull with a club in order to steal her food out in a shack set in the swamp. The convict looks up from his meal, only to see a huge hulking brute of a man looking at him. He flees in terror only to have the brute follow him clutching the club. He faces several dangers of the swamp, yet still the brute pursues with the club. Finally, he can go no further, and begs for mercy. The brute ignores his pleas and hands him back the club telling him he forgot it at his house and leaving him mentally unhinged from the stress.
