Foul Play and Other Stories
When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he imbued his stories with a playful sense of (gallows) humour that made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murders more gleefully gruesome, and his revenge-seeking corpses more morbidly motivated than any other EC artist.
