A gruesome look at a malevolent Halloween party game perpetrated by a man who believes the child of his unfaithful wife is not his. In “Frozen Assets!,” a woman and her lover seal her still-living husband in a chest freezer. “Standing Room Only” — a brother murders his twin sister and her husband, and disguises himself as her so he can inherit their estate. But then the estate lawyer makes a play for the “widow” ... “Three for the Money” — A woman finds her husband dead — with a knife in his back and a bullet in his head. The police arrest two suspects — but to get a conviction, they must determine who acted first. Who actually committed the murder, and who stabbed or shot a man who was already dead?\u003cbr\u003e\nLike every book in The Fantagraphics EC Artists’ Library, \u003ci\u003eThree For The Money And Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eThe Brooklyn-born \u003cb\u003eJack Kamen\u003c\/b\u003e (1920-2008) began his career as a pulp illustrator and spent his last professional decades as an illustrator, but is best remembered for his half-decade at EC (and his 1982 contributions to the EC-inspired movie \u003ci\u003eCreepshow\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbert B.
