A comics legend and a true crime expert join forces to shed light on an infamous killer.

It’s safe to say the world has become fascinated by the sad, twisted saga of Ed Gein, one of the most notorious serial murderers in American history. Gein’s crimes shocked and mesmerized many in the 1950’s, and Gein himself has served as inspiration for many twisted killers in the movies, from Psycho‘s Norman Bates to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre‘s Leatherface. With their upcoming graphic novel Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?, creators Eric Powell and Harold Schechter aim to cut through the myths and reveal the true history of a true American villain.
