Before the dark days of the Comics Code, no publication presented the no-holds-barred portrayal of the dark side of criminality quite like EC Comics’ Crime SuspenStories.
Featuring intense dramas of villainy, treachery, and betrayal by comics giants Al Feldstein, Johnny Craig, Graham Ingels, Jack Davis, and Jack Kamen, Crime SuspenStories stands at the pinnacle of crime comics history.
This value-priced volume collects Crime SuspenStories issues #7–#12, including the original stories, ads, text pieces, and letters.

Jack Davis was born on December 2, 1924, in Atlanta, Georgia. After serving in the Navy, Davis enrolled in night classes at the Art Students League and began working on The Saint syndicated newspaper strip. It was in 1951 that he began working for EC Comics on their horror, war, and suspense titles. The juxtaposition of Davis's "cartoony" style with the grim and at times gruesome EC scripts quickly made him one of the line's most popular artists. Shortly thereafter he began his decades-long association with MAD, where his humorous, over-the-top style meshed perfectly with MAD's zany irreverence. Davis has worked in virtually every area of commercial illustration, including movie posters, advertising campaigns, album covers, magazine covers, and illustrations.
