Product Description: Included are stories by Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines and others with art by legendary illustrators such as Graham Ingels, Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, Al Williamson, Joe Orlando and others from the third set of six issues of this pivotal comic book title and inspiration for the hit movie and the HBO series. The EC Comics line of the 1950s is widely recognized as historically significant, not only for its storytelling approach, but also for the incredible level of talen it attracted. Many of their regular contributors would define their era of comic book creators and dramatically impact the generations that followed. The EC Archives series restores these classic tales in newly corrected, full color presentations along with historical notes and insights from noted EC historian Grant Geissman.
Thrills and chills... This latest edition of Tales From the Crypt is awesome! I love being able to pay only a little over thirty bucks to enjoy these fantastic and twisted tales. The binding is top notch, the colors are full and vibrant, and it is sooooooooo much cheaper than paying $100 plus an issue on ebay. There are some who find the coloring inconsistant with the original artistic scheme, so this might not be for them. But overall I am having a blast reading these brilliant books!
Printing Error...Beware! I love these EC Archives books and own most of them. I just received Volume 3 of Tales from the Crypt and was very disappointed to see that due to a printing error, two stories are duplicated ("Grounds for Horror" & "Sucker for a Spider") while two other stores ("A Rottin' Trick" & "Bored to Death") are omitted entirely. I have to imagine that many if not all copies of this volume are similarly misprinted. I contacted Gemstone Publishing and am awaiting a response as to how they are going to resolve this, but it may be worth holding off on buying this volume until after the issue has been corrected.
