Crypt comic books issue 1

1st printing. Written by Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, and Frank Frazetta. Art by Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, and Frank Frazetta. Cover by Johnny Craig. Here, for the first time, in a deluxe two-volume collection, is the best compilation of the covers from EC Comics. From the companys earliest days of its earnest Picture Stories titles to its kiddie, Western, and romance titles of the 1940s, through the heyday of such titles as Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Weird Science, Shock SuspenStories, Crime SuspenStories, Two-Fisted Tales, and Piracy, through its New Direction and Picto-Fiction period with titles such as Aces High, Extra, Impact, Terror Illustrated, and Confessions Illustrated — theyre all here! These covers were drawn by the greatest array of artistic talent ever assembled at one comic book company (excepting Fantagraphics, of course). Their names are legend — Craig, Crandall, Davis, Evans, Feldstein, Frazetta, Ingels, Kamen, Krigstein, Kurtzman, Orlando, Severin, Torres, Williamson, and Wood. And most of these covers are colored by the equally legendary Marie Severin. Each of the hundreds of full-color covers is lovingly scanned from pristine original comics and presented in a lush, oversize format to show off with spectacular precision every meticulous line, brushstroke, and nuance of chromatographic splendor. But it doesnt end there. This unique collection also showcases alternate covers, original artwork, paperback covers — even unpublished, what if covers by EC grand old man Angelo Torres that have never seen print before. The Crypt of Covers: The Complete EC Covers Compendium takes you on a curated tour of the history of EC Comics through its cover art from start to finish, guided by EC expert Grant Geissman. Each cover in this stunning collection is worthy of gallery or museum display. Hardcover, 11-in. x 14 1/2-in., 678 pages, full color. Mature Readers

Updated and converted for 5E, the dreaded Tomb of Horrors inspired this classic deathtrap dungeon! The heroes are sent into the Devil Lich's crypt to destroy her before she can return to power, as foreseen in a prophecy. However, the unknowing heroes have actually been tricked into entering her crypt to free her from her prison. If they are truly heroes, they will uncover the deception and defeat the evil Devil Lich before she can unleash her dark designs on the surface world. This adventure module is a fifth edition conversion of the classic dungeon module DCC #13: The Crypt of the Devil Lich, originally published in 2004 by Goodman Games.

The adventure is designed for a group of four to six 15th-level characters. The original adventure was designed for the 2004 1st Annual GenCon Dungeon Crawl Classics Team Tournament, a tradition that continues today! Hardcover, 9-in. x 11 1/2-in., 216 pages, B&W.

Written by Walter Flanagan and Bryan Johnson. Art and cover by Walter Flanagan.

From the minds of Bryan Johnson and Walter Flanagan, stars of AMC's hit television show, Comic Book Men!

Shortly after Alan Ostman's daughter goes missing on a family camping trip, he finds himself living life on the fringes. After a particularly rough night, an industrialist interested in Alan's research focusing on the "alternative sciences" bails him out of jail and offers Alan a job. Think your boss is bad? At least they're (probably) not a leather pig-mask wearing, inter-dimensional miscreant bent on having a race of malignant beasts exterminate the world's best known cryptids and destroy the entire universe in the process.

Does humanity have a shot? A mythical society of Gray aliens didn't create Cryptozoic Man for nothing!
