About the series
A modern hardcover reclamation of a foundational horror-comic title, EC Archives: The Vault of Horror collects the legendary 1950s series from EC Comics, with the first volume (2007) gathering issues from that era. The stories, most often written by Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines, are brought to life by the clean, unsettling linework of artist Jack Kamen, whose polished style gave these gruesome tales an eerie, subversive edge. This archival series matters as a definitive, high-quality preservation of the work that defined pre-Code horror comics and led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority.
