Over the next eight years, he collaborated with notable figures like Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman, and Wally Wood to redefine the comic genre, producing iconic titles such as Tales from the Crypt, Weird Science, and MAD. The book features over 1,000 images and rare collectibles, making it a treasure trove for even the most dedicated EC fans.
