His loving depictions of the endless corruption of flesh and nature made him the go-to guy for stories involving swamps  maniacs  and dismemberment  and all three combined to best effect in one of the standouts of this collection of his stories: Horror We? Hows Bayou?  considered the single most spectacularly drawn of all of ECs horror stories  with a climax that would give body-horror king David Cronenberg nightmares. Ingels specialized in depicting the unimaginable. If you ever wondered what the vengeful  decaying corpse of an elephant stomping a woman to death would look like  its in here (Squash...Anyone?). Or living rats sewn into the bodies of a tyrannical king and queen (A Grim Fairy Tale)... or the results of injecting a poison-pen letter writer with literal poison and reducing him to  in the words of Al Feldsteins script  a foul-smelling  oozing pool of putrescence (Notes to You!). One of the two Ray Bradbury adaptations in the book  There Was an Old Woman (about a deceased crone who simply refuses to stay dead) provides the closest thing to a note of sweetness that youll find here  perhaps with the exception of the genuinely romantic A Little Stranger! and its loving marriage between a dead vampire and a dead werewolf. Sucker Bait And Other Stories features 25 classic stories from Tales From the Crypt  Shock Suspen-Stories  Vault of Horror  and Ingels and his Old Witch characters special showcase Haunt of Fear  plus the usual fascinating historical  critical  and biographical material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960445788213,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606996894","price":50.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606996898.jpg?v=1788287383","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sucker-bait-and-other-stories-the-fantagraphics-ec-comics-artists-library-6-9781606996898","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
