the ec archives tales from the crypt volume 2

If you love them as I do, you won't go wrong with this volume in your collection. You have to love old school horror comics, otherwise you will be disappointed. I'm giving this four stars because despite everything I just said, this book was exactly what I wanted. That should cover the cost of the photos. After all, I believe I paid more than 75 cents for this book. Since this came up nearly every story, it would've been a nice touch to include those photos in this volume. The other thing was the constant end-of-story sales pitch to send away for real photographs of the 'ghoulunatics'. That may have been a problem in the first volume, but I never noticed.

One thing was the incessant use of exclamation points. Every story is exactly that.Ī few things really irked me. The plots are 'Tales from the Crypt Standard Issue': innocent person killed by bad guy supernatural force extracts justice and destroys bad guy. I went in looking for old-school vibes and classic riffs from the dawn of horror comics. Of course, I didn't go into this expecting great horror stories. It's like having that third jelly doughnut: still good but definitely crossing the line into over-indulgence. The stories start out strong, but lose their kick over the course of the volume. This was a fun read, though maybe not as fun as the first volume.
