The EC Archives: Tales from the Crypt Volume 1
Stories by William Gaines, Al Feldstein, Johnny Craig, Wally Wood and others. Gemstone Publishing, 2006. The third volume in The EC Archives kicks off the series with a 212-page hardcover volume collecting the first six issues of the legendary Tales from the Crypt horror comics. Each volume will also include all of the original EC advertisements, editorial pieces and even letters pages, to give readers a true idea what made EC so influential. The EC Archives editions present these stories with all-new colours based on the originals, using new methods of shading and texture to heighten each story's impact.

The reproduction of these volumes is the best ever, as each of The EC Archives is shot directly from the original EC art! Forward to this volume is by noted horror film director John Carpenter, who describes these stories as seminal in their influence. Once unjustly maligned as a cause of escalating teen delinquency during the 1950s, the EC Comics line — created by publisher William Gaines and a host of some of comics' most legendary artists — is now considered by scholars, fans, and collectors alike as a milestone achievement in graphic storytelling, years ahead of its time.

These comics entertained millions and influenced some of our generation's most talented writers, filmmakers, and artists. They inspired cartoons, movies, TV series, and countless parodies and tributes, and now these classics of the 20th century are set to return in this stunning new format for the 21st century! 212 pages.
