by Various The greatest, most infamous horror comic is back! After over 50 years, the flagship title of the legendary EC Comics line has returned with all-new Tales From The Crypt as narrated by the original Crypt-Keeper, The Old Witch, and The Vault Keeper. Each issue will feature two 20-page jolting tales of terror in the EC tradition! 'Artistic License,' by horror author Marc Bilgrey and drawn by Mr. Exes, reveals how two nosy and somewhat murderous neighbors discover the shocking inspiration for Jack Kroll's outsider artwork. 'For Serious Collectors Only,' by Bluesman author Rob Vollmar and Batman artist Steve Mannion, explores just how far middle-aged action figure collector Thomas Donalley will go to get an ultra-rare Japanese figure. Introductory pages, featuring the Ghoulunatics, are by Jim Salicrup and Beavis and Butthead artist Rick Parker. Cover by award-winning artist Kyle Baker. Cover price $3.95.
