THE WITCH-CAT OF SALEM!

When the townsfolk of Salem, MA burn a witch, they have no idea that the witch left a curse for them in the form of her familiar, a large black cat. The cat appears throughout the years, terrorizing and murdering those who were responsible for killing the witch. It takes a holy object from out of the past to finally end the curse.

"The Witch-Cat of Salem" is from ACG's ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN #3 (February-March 1949) and illustrated by Ken Bald.

From the publisher:

The Crypt of Covers: The Complete EC Covers Compendium

Price: $150

The most comprehensive compilation of EC Comics covers ever!

Here, for the first time, in a deluxe two-volume collection, is the best compilation of the covers from EC Comics. From the company's 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—they're 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 doesn't 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 This unique collection also showcases alternate covers, original artwork, paperback covers — even unpublished, "what if" covers by EC "grand old man" Angelo Torres that have never seen print before.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.
