In this companion volume to the award-winning B.Krigstein Vol.1, Fantagraphics presents a collection of 34 complete stories, spanning Krigstein's entire mature career in comics.

To match the scope of Vol.1, 34 stories from 1949-57 have been selected and restored, tracing Krigstein’s respective tenures at Simon & Kirby, Ray Hermann, Hillman, precode Atlas, DC, St, John, EC, and postcode Atlas. The vast majority of this work has been out of print since original publication nearly fifty years ago, and should be revelatory to those who know Krigstein solely from his 1953-55 work at EC. Fourteen stories, culled from every stage of his career, have been recolored for this volume by original EC colorist Marie Severin.
