Plots and scripts by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein Art by Jack Davis Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen Graham Ingels Includes Jack Davis's "By the Fright of the Silvery Moon" and Joe Orlando's "Midnight Mess," both of which are discussed in Tom Englehardt's The End of Victory Culture: Cold War America and the Disillusioning of a Generation: "These two 1953 tales—'By the Fright of the Silvery Moon' and 'Midnight Mess' from EC's line of horror comics, Tales from the Crypt—were among thousands of similar ones that comic book companies put out in the early 1950s. In such tales, the alien and unclean arose within marriage, family and community, turning the normal, even sacred institutions of middle-class life into charnel houses of disembodied limbs and bloodless bodies. Carrying the punch of pint-sized pornography, they were inevitably framed by the mocking laughter of a Crypt-keeper or a Vault-keeper." 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."
