The Raven (Dell)

    (Dell, 1963)
™ and © Dell Publishing Co.

Though Edgar Allen Poe’s classic poem has been filmed before, this Movie Classic comic book adapts the in-name-only feature film that really stretches the meaning of “loosely based.” It is fondly remembered now as a latter day showcase for the highly talented Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre and as yet another horror vehicle for the younger Vincent Price still in his prime. Boris, of course, appeared in other comic books including adaptations for Die, Monster, Die!, Mad Monster Party and the long-running Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery.
