The EC Archives: Shock Illustrated

A single-issue volume from Dark Horse's EC Archives line, this 2021 release collects the complete run of the pre-Code horror anthology Shock Illustrated. Featuring the grim, twist-ending tales and lurid art that defined EC's most notorious titles, it showcases the work of legendary talents like Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, and artists such as Johnny Craig and Graham Ingels. Though brief, this collection preserves a key piece of EC's legacy, offering a snapshot of the publisher's boundary-pushing storytelling before the Comics Code Authority reshaped the industry.
