Book Review: Be Aware Readers !! This is the ORIGINAL tales from the crypt
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book after watching some of the episodes of tales from the crypt and you know what ?? its amazing. These are the originals from the 1950s and are true works of masterpiece. If you are a comic or Tales of the crypt fan, you gotta have this.
I have already pre-ordered the second Volume, and can't hardly wait to get it when it comes out in late summer.
Book Review: This is an AWESOME product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, Gemstone (and lifetime fan Russ Cochran) has published this, The EC Archives. It's what we fans have been waiting for....and it's finally in color.
This is THE original comics that was published by William gaines (yes, the founder of MAD!) along with Al Feldstein, and it contains artwork by all these legends in the comicbook business; "Ghastly" Graham Ingles, Jack Davis, Johnny Craig, George Evans, Bernie Kriegstein, Joe Orlando, Harwey Kurtzman, Jack Kamen and even Feldstein himself! These stories were published during the period of 1950-1954, then after a congress hearing,where William Gaines defended his beloved comics, they banned these "morally wrong" comics, stating they caused "juvenile delinquency".
Now, over fifty years later, they're regarded as classics! And the stories are all here, with exceptional art and newly added color (based on Marie Severin's original coloring schemes from the period), the book is all made up from six issues of the title, excactly as it was back in the fifties! If you love comics, then you can't go wrong with buying this book.....a cultural treasure from the "Golden Age" of comics! I just hope you'll get as big a kick from these beautifully done stories as i have.
Prepare to be amazed....
