Graham Ingels (1915-1991, b. Cincinnati, Ohio), began working for EC Comics, drawing Western, romance, and crime stories, in 1948. But it was with the advent of EC's horror titles that "Ghastly" Graham Ingels's detailed work perfectly evoked the proper mood for the kind of wickedly macabre stories EC excelled at, and it made him a fan favorite. Ingels drew the lead feature for every issue of Haunt of Fear starting with #4, but his work, "hosted" by his signature character, the Old Witch, appeared regularly in all three EC horror titles and in Crime SuspenStories . In 1989, Ingels returned briefly to the comics landscape when he created a series of oil paintings featuring the Old Witch.
