Also being a huge Trekkie, I just love that Will Wiggum is in it looking like a freshly circumcised dick.
SilerAUDIENCE
Freshly? And the first episode, just for a little bit of fun trivia, the two gentlemen in the EC Comics office are in fact artists.
SilerAUDIENCE
Jack Kamen is one of them.
SilerAUDIENCE
He was an actual EC Comics comic artist.

other guy was Mike Vosberg who actually did all the comic covers that we see in the introduction to Every Tales from the Oh, man.
Diego CrespoHOST
Like some, it's like E, I don't know, like EIC comics.
Steven SheaGUEST
Oh, EC Comics.
Steven SheaGUEST
Yeah, like the original Tales from the Crypt and everything.
Steven SheaGUEST
I'm a big monster kid.
Hugh McStayHOST
Gaines Orphanage, Theodore's home at the start of the episode, takes its name, of course, from William M. Gaines.
Hugh McStayHOST
the EC Comics publisher who co-created Tales from the Crypt with editor Al Feldstein in 1950.
Hugh McStayHOST
George Johnson, who played Miss Hagstead, guest starred three times in Alfred Hitchcock Presents between 1955 and 1962, appearing in Jonathan, One for the Road and Night of the Execution.
Hugh McStayHOST
Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a CBS and NBC anthology series created, hosted and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, preceded Tales from the Crypt by over three decades and similarly dealt in crime, thrillers mysteries and other narratives.
Greg PakGUEST
I mean, I'm doing some stuff I can't talk about yet, sadly.
Greg PakGUEST
I'm continuing to do little short stories for EC Comics, the Oni Comics revival of EC Comics.
Greg PakGUEST
So these short little sort of amoral horror stories.
Greg PakGUEST
I guess they do amorals, but like people get...
Aaron KingHOST
We have to stop comics.
Aaron KingHOST
And one of the prime offenders was EC Comics, William Gaines, which was full of horror comics, murder, vampires, werewolves, etc.
Aaron KingHOST
And there's this famous, I think it's William Gaines, there's another Gaines, one is a son, one is a father.
Aaron KingHOST
The senator is like, sir, you have this cover with this woman here and I believe she's being beheaded and she has a bit of blood on her.
Aaron KingHOST
And William Gaines goes, only a little bit.
Aaron KingHOST
But they targeted basically EC Comics and they're like, we're going to fucking drive you into the ground and kill you.
Aaron KingHOST
EC Comics effectively was destroyed by this woman.
Aaron KingHOST
But instead of getting legislated against, comics said, no, no, no, we're going to establish a sort of self-editing board, the Comics Code Authority, and we'll have teachers, psychologists, artists, everyone on this board to establish a set of rules that we'll follow to not corrupt the youth.
TadHOST
orders are due on September 24th.
TadHOST
um ec artists from the abyss number one this looks super cool um and the first one will fish if feature chris condon and charlie adlard from the depths of the endless abyss ec comics and oni press proudly present the first in a new series of one-shot celebrations spotlighting the boldest and bloodiest talents from ec's new class of caustic cartoonists Take it from us, they really put the ill in Illustrator.
TadHOST
Our first victim, comics legend and Eisner Award-winning artist Charlie Adlard.
TadHOST
For the first time between two covers, survey Adlard's punishing portfolio of uninvited resurrections, soul-sold jeep, and spectacular sadistic horrors as illustrated in the immortal EC Comics manner with lots and lots of red, naturally.
TadHOST
Plus, a brand new, never-before-told tale.
TadHOST
reuniting Adlard with acclaimed writer and fellow survivor of the Tormentor's Wrack, Chris Condon.
TadHOST
I'm
TylerHOST
going to buy these anyway, but this one specifically.
JaceHOST
But again, I just don't know how much regular comic fans are, hey, let me get the one that looks like a comic book cover as opposed to one that looks like a painting from Leonardo da Vinci or whatever, right? But when we're talking about the Detective number one, which is a David Lapham series that's coming up, and Maria, I should say, is co-writing with David, obviously providing the art.
JaceHOST
But the fact that when they go old masters for Detective, they're using pre-code crime imagery from people like Gus Rica, Lee Elias, Bill Everett, these real classic covers that we know mostly from EC Comics.
JaceHOST
Now that I think is going to get comic fans excited.
JaceHOST
I mean, you look at these covers and they're just awesome.
Ron DonaghyHOST
Like this other one, the cover is called Crime and Suspense.
Ron DonaghyHOST
That was from another company called EC Comics.
Ron DonaghyHOST
And you see a woman, okay, she's wearing a skirt or a dress.
Ron DonaghyHOST
So you can see just, say, like the upper part of her leg is pointing.
GriffeyHOST
Right.
GriffeyHOST
So you get two Titans of horror bringing back this kind of old style of thing that was very popular in Tales from the Crypt and EC Comics that we had kind of lost at the time.
GriffeyHOST
Right.
GriffeyHOST
Because this even predates Tales from the Crypt coming back.
JT WheatleyHOST
The series only ran for three issues, with Stoner providing the art for all of them.
JT WheatleyHOST
Stoner would later provide the art for Blackstone, the magician fights crime for EC Comics in the fall of 1947, while also providing covers through souvenir programs for Blackstone himself, who would hand out his performances in the late 1940s.
JT WheatleyHOST
While doing his commercial work, Stoner continued to do fine art as well, doing commissioned paintings for black army officers.
JT WheatleyHOST
While Stoner wouldn't move away from newsstands, as many of the white artists were returning from serving in World War II, he would find work doing promotional comics, which were popular for a form of advertising companies used to promote.
