CGC certified: VG- (3.5). Purple Label (C-1). Restoration includes: Tear seals to cover. Off-white to white pages. Cover: Johnny Craig Plots/scripts: Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein Johnny Craig Art: Al Feldstein Jack Kamen Graham Ingels Johnny Craig First issue published under the title "Tales from the Crypt" (formerly "Crypt of Terror"). GPAnalysis: A Purple Label 3.5 (B-1) sold for $442 in March 2019; a Purple Label 3.5 (C-1) sold for $405 in December 2018. With Crypt of Terror's fourth issue, a serendipitous name change results in the most iconic horror comic title of them all. "They changed the title of The Crypt of Terror to Tales from the Crypt three issues later, after 'the wholesalers made some noise,' according to Gaines." — Grant Geissman, The History of EC Comcs. Taschen: 2020, p. 147. It's unknown why "Crypt of TERROR" irked wholesalers but "Vault of HORROR" was perfectly acceptable. According to one Internet egghead, " Terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening, while horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing." Apparently, fear of the unknown is more problematic than the object of fear itself; hence FDR's famous statement that "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Ironically, nobody was bothered at all by "Haunt of FEAR." A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200.
