DESCRIPTION
lt tan/ow pgs
Johnny Craig story, cvr/art; 1st app of the Old Witch; 2nd issue; vampire cvr, shrunken head panelsFeaturing four tales of frightful fiendishness. Haunt of Fear #16 is a classic EC scare-fest, created by the same litany of comic book legends that were responsible for the majority of the publisher’s beloved output in the clean-cut, upright, and uptight 1950s. It comes as no surprise that these little tales of murder that showcased the basest of human motivations and spared no expense in the depiction of torments and tortures would cause a ruckus among the pearl-clutching crowd, and end up making history. Vampires, mummies, and shrunken heads are on the menu in this issue, served up by Johnny Craig, Wally Wood, Al Feldstein, Gardner Fox, Graham Ingels.
