Three Dimensional Tales from the Crypt of Terror #2

In "The Trophy!", a stranded traveler takes refuge in a remote farmhouse, where an old woman warns him of her vampire husband—only to be met with a chillingly calm reply when he reveals his own wife is a ghoul. Written by Al Feldstein and illustrated by Bill Elder, this eerie tale from EC’s Three Dimensional Tales from the Crypt of Terror #2 (1954) unfolds with creeping dread, anchored in a single, locked closet and a man’s growing unease. The cover, penciled and inked by Al Feldstein, captures the story’s unsettling mood in stark, shadowed detail.
