Book Reviews of The EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt Volume 1 (The Ec Archives)
Book Review: EC at it's best yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
First read an EC comic when I was 10 years old and have been hooked ever since. I am now 67. When the large slip-cover b/w reprints were issued I bought most of them. This Archive series is better than I expected. Any true EC fan would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to own this well produced set. The size, color, print, paper, presentation is all one could ask for. Beautiful and thank you Russ Cochran.
Summary of The EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt Volume 1 (The Ec Archives)
EC Comics (Entertaining Comics) were all published from the late 1940s until around 1956, when the Comics Code Authority whitewashed all comic books to remove all themes of horror and violence. Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham and Senator Estes Kefauver's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency attacked horror comics as causes of the rise in juvenile delinquency and crimes by minors. These comic books were accused of having no redeeming value to society and were effectively banned by the actions of these groups in creating the Comics Code. EC Comics were superior to other comics of the 1950s because of a higher quality of writing and artwork, and they were widely imitated by other comics publishers. The subject matter for EC Comics were horror, science fiction/fantasy, crime stories, war stories and stories with a social message that generally had a twist or "shock" ending. This volume reprints the first six complete issues (24 stories) of the comic book Tales From the Crypt, originally published in 1950, and features classic horror stories of vampires, werewolves, ghouls and monsters in the vein of hte early Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolf Man movies. This title was EC's best seller, and was the inspiration of several feature films and the HBO series of the same name.General Books
