Tales from the Crypt: Graphic Novel #1

The iconic EC horror hosts are back — the Crypt-Keeper, the Old Witch, and the Vault-Keeper each peer out from their portrait medallions on this delightfully ghoulish cover, while the centerpiece delivers the issue's gleeful punchline: a rotting, zombified take on the Mona Lisa, rendered in sickly greens by the one and only Jack Davis. Published in 2007 under the Papercutz banner, this full-color graphic novel promises all-new stories with the irreverent, macabre spirit that made Tales from the Crypt an enduring name in horror comics. If you've got a taste for "ghouls gone wild," this is a fine place to start.
