Before working for EC, Ingels illustrated for Fiction House , Magazine Enterprises and other publishers of comic books and pulp magazines. He began at EC by doing Western and romance stories. His flair for horror led the company to promote him as "Ghastly Graham Ingels," and he sometimes signed his work "Ghastly." His unique and expressive style was well-suited for the atmospheric depiction of Gothic horrors amid crumbling Victorian mansions in hellish landscapes populated by grotesque creatures and living corpses with rotting flesh. As the lead artist on '' The Haunt Of Fear '', he brought to life the Old Witch, host of "The Witch's Cauldron" lead story, and he also did the cover for each issue. After EC ceased publication in the mid-1950s, Ingels contributed to Classics Illustrated and took a teaching position with the Famous Artists correspondence school located in Westport, Connecticut. He left the northeast and became an art teacher in Florida, refusing to acknowledge his horror comics until a few years before he died. EXTERNAL LINKS |
