HAUNT OF FEAR No. 22 Author: Place: Publisher: Date: Description: EC (Indicia: "Fables Publishing Co."). November-December, 1953. Good/VG (3.0). Soft and pulpy, spine stress, bottom corner crease, short curved tear at top edge of cover with tiny paper fold but no paper loss. Off-white pages. Ownership rubberstamp to margin of inside front cover and first page with name blacked out with Sharpie. Graham Ingels cover. Scripts by Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines. Art by Graham Ingels George Evans Jack Kamen and Jack Davis House ad: EC Fan-Addict Club, art by Davis. The letter column bristles with disgruntled rumblings from readers who felt ripped off by the "Terror Train" reprint in Haunt of Fear #20: "You guys must really be in tough shape! By reprinting that old story, you reached the ultimate low in comics. You were real cute about it, though. You made it look as if you were doing us fans a big favor." In fact, Gaines and Feldstein were fast running out of story ideas, and would soon bring in outside writers. As Bill Gaines wrote in a solicitation that appeared in the February, 1954 issue of Writer's Digest: "We give up. For five years my editors and I have been writing an average of a comic book every six days; five a month, 60 a year. Each magazine contained four stories. That's 240 plots a year, 1,200 in five years. Now we're written out. Bone dry. And we need your help." 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."
