HAUNT OF FEAR No. 21 Author: Place: Publisher: Date: Description: EC (Indicia: "Fables Publishing Co."). September-October, 1953. 3.0 (Good/VG). Soft, pulpy, edgeworn but solid and intact. Off-white pages with tanning edges. Ownership rubberstamps to bottom margin of inside front cover and first page, with name crossed out with black Sharpie. House ad for Weird Fantasy #21 (Williamson-Frazetta cover). Graham Ingels cover. Scripts by Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines. Art by Graham Ingels Jack Davis Reed Crandall, and Jack Kamen & Will Elder in collaboration. Graham Ingels' cover illustrates Reed Crandall's "The High Cost of Dying." Avoiding overt horror trappings, Ingels captures the mournful air of Crandall's story of life and death among the have-nots of Paris during the Second Empire. "'The High Cost of Dying' is far and away the best of EC's funeral stories. Feldstein, perhaps inspired by his 19th-century Paris setting, produced a Maupassant-like blend of understated compassion and bitter realism and a profoundly moving ending which, for once, does not depend upon a lapse of taste. Reed Crandall illustrated 'High Cost' with a controlled intensity equaled in his EC work only by Two-Fisted #35's 'Memphis.'" —Bill Mason, The Complete Haunt of Fear. A limited edition of 100 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues are available. Over 200 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com or visit: https://www.pbagalleries.com/content/comics/. R. Crumb says, "I found [PBA's catalogue] so interesting that I am saving it for the texts that accompany the comics which were put up for auction. This is some of the best commentary I’ve yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books. I especially enjoyed the reviews of the post-war horror comics. Great. Priceless." Consignments welcome for PBA's Spring 2021 Comic Book sale. Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age and Silver Age comics, original art and ephemera sought. Send inquiries to ivan@pbagalleries.com.
