American Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Tales From The Crypt
*EC: Arguably, EC’s Tales From The Crypt is the most famous of all pre-code horror titles and the yardstick by which all its contemporaries are measured. Two of the later issues of the series new in this week, both rich with the work of the cream of EC’s talented art pool: Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen, Graham Ingels and George Evans. Sadly, both copies have seen better days; #39 is heavily water damaged and stained, #43 has an almost entirely split spine. But both issues are complete and relatively affordable.
