TALES FROM THE CRYPT is the acknowledged premier horror comic of all time. The original series suspended publication over fifty years ago. Papercutz has obtained the exclusive rights to revive this... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It's almost too good to be true. The Cryptkeeper, The Old Witch and the Vault-Keeper have returned from the Grave! When I first heard about these I thought they were going to be another set a reprints - and later when I found out they were all NEW stories I nearly died. I had to read them. I hoped that they would do the old was honor. And they do! HORROR COMICS ARE THEY ONLY ONES I READ. I love not only the goodies from EC, but House of Mystery, The Witching Hour, Ripley's Believe it or Not True Ghost Stories and True Demons and Monsters, The Unexpected. Every Horror Comic is my fiend! And these new Tales from my Favorite Host are very Reminiscent of my classics from the 50's. YES the art work did bug me for a while. I'm a huge fan of the Old 50's style w/ the heavy shading, but I got past that REALLY quickly. And lucky some of the stories do have a look that is very close to the originals. The Stories really fallow the same models from the past. Each w/ a moral lesson and Justice being served NOT by a Costumed hero, BUT by an Undead Ghoul from Beyond the grave. In short! I LOVE THEM! I can't wait for more. I would love to see Papercutz also releasing The Vault of Horror and The Haunt of Fear! I would drop dead for that! BUT at least my good old friend the Crypt-Keeper is Hack!
