Ever wonder why most mainstream comics became bloodless and tame after about 1955?
The excesses of books likeTales From the Cryptbrought the house down.
Its kind of fortuitous.
Since these are archives, all the original ads and lettercolumns (hilariously answered by The Crypt-Keeper himself!)
are reproduced as well as the stories.
Ah, but its the stories that are the star here.
A fairly standard werewolf tale, but notable for its drum-tight pacing and flawless art.
…Only Skin Deep!
This one also made its way onto HBOsTales From the CryptTV series.
Under the silken comforter, parts of an old man had been buried with her.
There she lay being made cold love to by hidden hands and things… Tales From the Crypt Archives Volume 4is available now at fiendish retailers everywhere.
At $49.99 its an absolute bargain for the greatest horror comics of all time.
