Haunt of Fear #28 p 2 (Jack Davis's Final New Trend Horror Story: 'A Work of Art! (1954)

This page, from Jack Davis's final New Trend horror story, "A Work of Art," concerns an elderly mortician who teaches his ham-handed son-in-law the family business. The old timer, appalled by his son-in-law's inability to property embalm a cadaver, invents a do-it-yourself embalming machine and uses it to convert his own carcass into "a work of art." Davis's cartoony, brush-heavy style was a perfect match for Feldstein's gruesome but tongue-in-cheek horror tales.... Ultimately, Davis became one of EC's most popular and prolific artists.... His trademark frenetic style became ubiquitous in American popular media and burned itself into the American unconscious." — Home to Stay: The Complete Ray Bradbury EC Stories.
