Publisher's Synopsis

Ingels' loving depictions of the endless corruption of flesh and nature made him the go-to guy for stories involving swamps, maniacs and dismemberment. All three combined to best effect in one of the standouts of this collection of his stories - Horror We? How's Bayou?' - considered the single most spectacularly drawn of all of EC's horror stories. Sucker Bait features 25 classic stories from Tales From the Crypt, Shock Suspen-Stories, Vault of Horror and Haunt of Fear, as well as fascinating historical, critical and biographical material.'

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
