Tales From The Crypt Print

Tales From The Crypt 

(1964)
"Nine years after Bill Gaines was forced to shelve EC Comics' horror, crime, and sci-fi titles due to creative restrictions enforced by the Comics Code Authority, Ballantine reprinted a number of the original tales in five volumes published between 1964 and 1966: Tales from the Crypt (1964), The Vault of Horror (1965), Tales of the Incredible (1965), The Autumn People (1965), and Tomorrow Midnight (1966). Frazetta, who had worked briefly for EC in the 1950s, painted the covers for the entire series. Note the impactful 'Frank Frazetta' written on the tombstone -- rather than his usual 'Frazetta' signature this may be the only time he inscribed his work differently, and with chilling effect. The oils on this prime era piece are pure Frazetta genius, right down to the ground around the hands, which give off a phosphorescent glow. This is an absolutely striking piece which appears to be the earliest professionally published horror painting by the artist!" - ComicLink
