The New Trend

Detail from the cover of Shock SuspenStories No 4

August–September 1952, Artwork by Wallace Wood.

The stories in Crime SuspenStories were influenced by the mystery and suspense writers of the period. According to Bill Gaines (EC Comics) they were ‘logical stories in which the villain tries to get away with murder’. In the story for this image, corrupt cops beat a false confession out of an innocent man. In the final panels we learn the real killer was the police lieutenant, who gets away with murdering his wife. Wallace Wood’s art style, with its moodily lit and close-up panels, was named ‘heightened realism.’ (The Guardian)
