This annual compendium contains four classic issues from EC’s celebrated pre-code horror era: Haunt of Fear #14, Tales from the Crypt #31, Crime SuspenStories #12, and Vault of Horror #26. These issues feature works from the talented creators at EC, Graham Ingels, Jack Kamen, Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, Marie Severin, Al Williamson, Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, and Sid Check all contributed to the issues collated in this omnibus offering. These annuals are extremely rare and hard to find in high grades. When copies do turn up, they are the subject of intense bidding by fans of EC and pre-code horror in general, some of the most loyal and determined collectors around.
There are less than one-hundred copies of this comic on the census, with only three notching higher than this. Hailing from the celebrated White Mountain Pedigree, an original owner collection discovered in Massachusetts, known for its white pages and overall sterling preservation, Tales of Terror Annuals are some of the rarest of EC’s offerings, so when copies come up for auction, PCH fans take note. This copy is bright, clean, solid, and valuable. The QES certification lauds the book for its square spine, gloss, and superior color strike.
