About the series
Published by Superior from 1950 to 1953, Tales from the Crypt remains a cornerstone of horror comics, with Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein scripting most of its 19 issues. The series is best remembered for the gleefully macabre art of Jack Davis, Feldstein, and Wally Wood, and for introducing the Crypt-Keeper, the Old Witch, and the Vault-Keeper as its ghoulish hosts. Its blend of twist endings and dark humor set the standard for the genre, influencing decades of horror storytelling.
