The EC Archives: The Vault of Horror

From 2021 to 2024, Dark Horse revived the chilling spirit of the 1950s with The EC Archives: The Vault of Horror, a five-issue collection that reprints classic tales from the legendary EC Comics vault. Anchored by the storytelling of Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, and Johnny Craig, and brought to life by the eerie art of Jack Kamen, Johnny Craig, and Graham Ingels, this series preserves the macabre morality tales and twist endings that defined pre-Code horror comics. It matters as a faithful archival reissue, offering modern readers a pristine look at the genre-defining work that pushed boundaries and sparked the Comics Code Authority.
