Al Feldstein infinity coverTales of Terror Annual, published in 1951, is a notable comic book that holds both cultural and historical significance. The annual featured a collection of horror stories and was published by EC Comics, known for their groundbreaking horror, crime, and science fiction titles. The stories within Tales of Terror Annual often explored macabre themes, delving into the darkest recesses of the human imagination.
This comic book is an important target for collectors and investors due to its association with EC, a company that revolutionized the comic book industry during the early 1950s. EC Comics, under the guidance of publisher William Gaines and editor Al Feldstein, pushed the boundaries of storytelling and artistic expression. Their bold and innovative approach paved the way for the rise of mature and psychologically complex comics.
Tales of Terror Annual is a compendium of previously published EC issues: Crypt of Terror #19, Haunt of Fear #16, Vault of Horror #15, and Weird Science #14. The book's release also coincided with the heightened public concern about the content of comic books, which eventually led to the establishment of the Comics Code Authority. Thus, Tales of Terror Annual stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural impact of EC Comics during a transformative period in the history of the comic book industry.
