About this Collection

This box set collects the complete run of EC's Picto-Fiction line, reprinting all four titles—Terror Illustrated, Crime Illustrated, Confessions Illustrated, and Shock Illustrated—in a single slipcased set. Published by Russ Cochran in 2006, these volumes present the original black-and-white illustrated stories from the 1950s, offering a different format from EC's classic comic books while retaining the publisher's signature horror, crime, and suspense themes.

"Horror in the Freak Tent" delivers a chilling, dreamlike descent into dread, as Al awakens after a car crash to find himself stranded on a desolate road, met with terror at every turn—from a fleeing driver to a hobo and a woman who react in horror to his presence. As Al stumbles through a night of escalating unease, his journey leads him to a home he no longer recognizes and a friend whose face is horrifically altered, before he confronts a mirror that reveals a rotting reflection. The story, written by Al Feldstein and illustrated by George Evans with inks by Evans, is a masterclass in psychological horror, with a cover by Reed Crandall that perfectly captures the eerie, unsettling tone of the tale.
