  • Reprints stories originally published in Tales from the crypt #23-46 (April/May 1951-Feb/March 1955) and Three dimensional tales from the crypt of terror #2 (Spring 1954)
  • Editor/writer Al Feldstein wrote more scripts for EC than anyone else, virtually all in collaboration with publisher William M. Gaines. Gaines's creative involvement reflected the pride he took in his comics and was another way in which EC Comics distinguished itself. Almost daily, Gaines and Feldstein co-plotted a new story based on Gaines's 'springboards,' from which Feldstein produced a script. It was, by all accounts, a creatively symbolic and satisfying partnership. Feldstein did not write every script and EC did not publish writer credits. EC's master records no longer exist. Based on the best information available, we believe the creative credits above to be accurate. We welcome any corrections"--Contents page
