It’s described as “a premiere collection of the best stories of EC Comics.”
This volume collects stories from EC Comics’ most famous titles, featuring classic stories from the hands of legendary creators Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman, Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, and more.

“William Gaines’ EC Comics has been recognized by many as the greatest group of comic titles in history. The EC Archives have been an important corner stone of Dark Horse’s publishing line for years. With the 75th anniversary of EC Comics rapidly approaching, we could think of no better way to celebrate their decorated past than with a collection showcasing the best of the best,” said Dark Horse founder, Mike Richardson.
Choke Gasp! will be released on December 17th.
