Dynamic pictorial semi-glossy wraps, moderate shelf wear. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind fine. Near fine signed first printing. The master of horror pays homage to the EC-style comic book - or, in essence, a graphic novel - with this collection of stories. King conjures up five jolting tales of horror including: "Father's Day, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill, The Crate, Something to Tide You Over, and, They're Creeping Up On You". Incredibly spooky black-and-white Stephen King portrait at back cover. Vibrant, colorful format based upon King's screenplay. Oversize 8 1/4" x 11" design. Insured post.. Signed by Author.…
