Riassunto

• EC Comics (Entertaining Comics) were all published from the late 1940s untilaround 1956, when the Comics Code Authority whitewashed all comic books toremove all themes of horror and violence. Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham andSenator Estes Kefauver's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency attacked horrorcomics as causes of the rise in juvenile delinquency and crimes by minors. Thesecomic books were accused of having no redeeming value to society and wereeffectively banned by the actions of these groups in creating the Comics Code.EC Comics were superior to other comics of the 1950s because of a higher qualityof writing and artwork, and they were widely imitated by other comicspublishers. The subject matter for EC Comics were horror, sciencefiction/fantasy, crime stories, war stories and stories with a social messagethat generally had a twist or "shock" ending.
• This volume reprints the first six complete issues (24 stories) of the comicbook Tales From the Crypt, originally published in 1950, and featuresclassic horror stories of vampires, werewolves, ghouls and monsters in the veinof hte early Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolf Man movies. This title was EC's bestseller, and was the inspiration of several feature films and the HBO series ofthe same name.
