American Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Haunt Of Fear #17 – Iconic ‘Walking Dead’ cover
*EC: By now, of course, you’ve been told so much about the EC line from so many sources that we don’t really need to stress the high quality of the artwork, the innovativeness of the storytelling, or the controversy surrounding them. We have Haunt of Fear #17, sporting one of the most notorious covers of the era, a FN+ copy, which superficially would grade higher, with only a couple of minor flaws. A previous owner’s name has been stamped on one interior page margin, then covered with opaque tape, and there’s a sealed tear on the upper back cover. Despite those points, this is an extremely well-presenting copy of one of EC’s infamous but meticulously-crafted horror classics. Macabre twist-ending tales illustrated, by the finest talents in the field at the time – what more do you need to know?
