American Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: EC’s Haunt Of Fear x3
*EC: Recognising quality when we see it, we’re always pleased to welcome original ECs to our catalogue (they usually don’t hang around for long!). This week, three issues from the Haunt Of Fear, one nice mid-grade plus a couple of cheapies. Art by Graham Ingels, George Evans, Jack Davis, Jack Kamen and others from EC’s stable of the best contemporary talent. EC set the benchmark for Pre-Code Horror.
