Grave Tales

    (Hamilton, 1991-1992)
™ and © 1991 Bruce Hamilton Publishing, Inc.

This title was Hamilton Comics’ short-lived attempt to “resurrect” the format initiated by EC in the late 50s with their Horror Illustrated, and successfully produced by Warren in black and white horror comics anthologies with names like Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella. The only problem is that the writing and the artwork were nowhere near as good as their predecessors. Timing may also have had something to do with it, as by the time Grave Tales appeared, horror comics magazines were already out of vogue.
