The Tell Tale Heart

In 1995, Mojo Press released a single-issue comic adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic horror story, The Tell Tale Heart, with Bill Fountain both writing and illustrating this moody, faithful rendition. Fountain’s stark, expressive artwork brings the narrator’s descent into guilt-ridden madness to life, while his script—drawing directly from Poe’s original text—preserves the tale’s haunting, claustrophobic power. Though brief, this standalone issue stands as a distinctive, creator-driven take on a literary staple, showcasing the kind of literary-minded, independent horror that defined Mojo Press’s early output.
