Various (w) • Howard Nostrand (a & c)

Howard Nostrand's brilliant horror-comics art was done during the height of the criticism against comics that resulted in government investigations and the Comics Code. Nostrand's style was an incredibly skilled, perfect mash-up of the EC artists Wally Wood and Jack Davis. Nostrand could be as innovative as Will Eisner, another influence on the artist. Five stories will be painstakingly reproduced from the rare original art! WARNING: Not for the squeamish–as you can see from the cover Nostrand's gore could be over the top–we can't show you the insides here to protect the Diamond Previews family-friendly content.

Even after being revived by cutting-edge technology, they remain prisoners… of the U.S. government. But a life sentence in Leavenworth is the least of their worries since the nanobots keeping them re-animated have a short shelf-life, giving our heroes just 30 hours to set things right... 30 hours to make their resurrection permanent.
