“One of the greatest twist-of-fate stories in American culture comes not from an EC Comic but from the Delta Blues,” said writer Chris Condon in a press release from Oni Press. “Why did bluesman Robert Johnson die at twenty-seven; the first to enter the entertainment industry’s most exclusive club? Was it due to a fateful meeting at the crossroads with a particularly devlish individual with an offer too good to refuse? Well, comics genius Charlie Adlard and I took a long look at this classic idea, spun it into an EC story, and thanks to Charlie’s deft handling of the material, came out with something almost lyrical in its execution–a descriptor you don’t often hear attributed to EC stories. But make no mistake–our story, ‘A Crossroads Repetition’, still packs that patented EC punch-in-the-gut that we know, love, and look forward to in every issue of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS and CRUEL UNIVERSE.”
