Tales from the Crypt #1
"Death Must Come" delivers a chilling tale from the early days of Tales from the Crypt, where a man’s desperate search for help after a car crash spirals into a nightmare of blood, suspicion, and the supernatural. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with haunting art by Graham Ingels—both inks and pencils—this story unfolds with a slow-burning dread, anchored by a mysterious donor whose true nature begins to unravel. The cover, a stark and striking piece by Johnny Craig, captures the story’s grim tone without revealing a single twist.
