The writing, I get the criticisms but I like the language. The art is unreal. I read the Ingels book, you can see the influence on Kelly Jones or Berni Wrightson. The Jack Kamen book, looks like Chris Weston (kind of). The stories remind me of those old mini "repent now" comics you'd find on the street in black and white. The road to sin cautionary comics. EC comics to me are, funny, absurd, grotesque, creepy but still kid friendly. Well not kid, "Juvenile Delinquent" friendly..Like if David Lynch took over Mr. Rogers for PBS.
