VAULT OF HORROR No. 33 Author: Place: Publisher: Date: Description: EC (Indicia: "L.L. Publishing Co., Inc."). October-November, 1953. VG- (3.5). Rubbing to spine, light wear to bottom edge of front cover, small nick at spine crown, small curved tear with abrasion to top edge of back cover. Ownership rubberstamp to bottom margin of inside front cover and first page, with name effaced in black Sharpie. Off-white pages. Johnny Craig cover. Craig script. Plots and scripts by Gaines and Feldstein. Art by Reed Crandall, Jack Davis George Evans and Graham Ingels Includes a bizarre Graham Ingels story in which a man has sex with his wife's dismembered corpse, as animated marionettes manipulate her body with wires and strings. Have we mentioned that Ingels was a devout Catholic whose horror stories are said to have driven him to drink? "Ingels struggled with alcohol at the time. Although he was very fast, Ingels soon became known for missing deadlines. He would head out from home with a completed job, stop off somewhere for a drink, and appear at the EC offices, Gaines said, 'four days later with his mind a complete blank.' Gaines and Feldstein quickly sized up the situation, and began giving Ingels artificially early due dates, so even if the job came in 'late,' it was on time." —Grant Geissman, The History of EC Comics. 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."
