In "‘Tain't the Meat...It's the Humanity!", biologists Vic and Joe—longtime friends and lab partners—find their bond tested when a tragic accident turns deadly. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Reed Crandall, with colors by Marie Severin, this chilling tale from Tales from the Crypt #5 (1992) unfolds with a shocking twist that redefines trust and irony. The cover by Jack Davis captures the story’s darkly playful tone, a fitting frame for a story where April Fool’s Day becomes a matter of life and death.
