Rick Geary is a cartoonist with a totally unique style and an equally unique body of work produced over the past few decades. My favorites of Geary's work are his volumes of A TREASURY OF VICTORIAN MURDER from NBM. The volumes in this series are universally well researched, well written and informative, all the while entertaining us with Geary's artwork.
"The Tell Tale Heart" is from Byron Preiss' production of THE BANK STREET BOOK OF CREEPY TALES, a trade paperback collection of short graphic fiction, done for young readers. Geary's artwork leaps out, and his vision of Edgar Allan Poe's tale of a senseless murder, told from the standpoint of the psychotic and paranoid murderer, is perfect for the macabre subject matter.
