Tales from the Crypt: The Official Archives. Strictly limited Hardcover, limited to 200 copies. Hamilton Press / St Martins Press. 1996. By Digby Diehl. Tales From The Crypt: The Official Archives by Digby Diehl as published by St.Martin's Press and Hamilton Comics Ltd, 1996. This is one of the limited signed hardcover editions published by Bruce Hamilton's Hamilton Comics Ltd, with 2 signed bookplates inside the front cover. National Public Radio commentator Diehl recounts the history of Tales from the Crypt, which has scared horror fans through comics, television, and movies for more than half a century. Tales from the Crypt Official Archives limited edition hardcover centres on four special sections, each of which is worth the price of the whole book: there are biographies of 13 artists from the E. C. stable; glossy, full-color covers for all 105 E. C. horror comics; 4 beautifully reproduced, complete tales in their original form (on creamy white paper stock); and a never-before-seen "Picto-Fiction" story from E. C.'s heyday, illustrated by Jack Davis. All of this and more has been lovingly put together by literary correspondent and columnist, Digby Diehl.While St.Martin's Press published the hardcover trade editions and softcover editions, Bruce Hamilton had the rights to publish the limited edition versions. With the interior pages and contents being exactly the same, Hamilton Comics published four different; Pricier Editions, each one limited and with different coloured Leather-effect covers. Each of the four coloured editions had EC ghoulish-names attached to them:1. The brown cover version was called Rotting Corpse mottled brown2. The green cover version was called Swamp water Slime mottled green3. The red cover version was called Stripped Flesh mottled red4. This off white cover version was called Bleached BonesThis edition is the Pricier edition in the Bleach bones style, much rarer than the trade edition found on the secondary market. This Bleached Bones off-white edition is signed by seven of the original EC Comics artists and writers; Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Johnny Craig, Al Feldstein, Al Williamson, Marie Severin, and George Evans. Most excitingly this edition features an individual signed bookplate by none other than the legendary Harvey Kurtzman, the sadly now deceased genius behind MAD Magazine and principal artist on many of the earliest EC horror stories. Also included is a signed glossy 8x10 photo of the Crypt Keeper character from the Tales of the Crypt television show.The interiors are printed in full colour on slick paper and feature 4 complete EC Horror stories, as well as numerous excerpts, reproductions of all original Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and Shocksuspence covers, a history of the Gaines empire, and the rise and fall of horror comic books, and complete filmography of the Tales from the Crypt television series. Most excitingly this edition features a story from the EC archives illustrated by Jack Davis that had never been printed until this editions publication! This is a real find and a must read for any EC enthusiast.Other Features:- The official biography of the Crypt Keeper and the history of EC Horror Comics/- All 105 EC Horror Comic covers reproduced in full-colour.- A pictorial "filmography" of the award-winning HBO and Fox Television series featuring credits, synopses, and episode guide.- Four original (and complete) stories by Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, Graham Ingels, and Jack Kamen reprinted from the actual art and reproduced in colour in their original size.- Brief biographies and portfolios of the key EC artists.- Collectibles section highlighting the rarest and most valuable Crypt merchandise.Dont miss this chance to own one of the most amazing Tales from the Crypt publications ever produced.Excitingly this edition comes with a hand signed letter from the original distributor Janet Dvorak, apologising to the original owner for the copy originally getting lost in transit.
