About the series
In the mid-90s, Gemstone Publishing revived the classic Vault of Horror title for a 21-issue run, bringing the EC Comics tradition of macabre, twist-ending tales back to newsstands. The series drew heavily from the vault of original 1950s stories, featuring the chillingly precise artwork of Johnny Craig and Reed Crandall, alongside the tense, compact scripting of Craig, Carl Wessler, and Al Feldstein. This collection served as a faithful, un-softened reprint showcase of EC’s most notorious horror work, reminding readers why the original series had been so influential—and so controversial.
