Tomb of Ligeia

    (Dell, 1965)
™ and ©1995 Alta-Vista Productions, Inc.

Throughout the 1960s, Dell Comics adapted practically every horror, science-fiction, adventure and mystery movie to come out of Hollywood with compulsive regularity. Many appeared in Four Color Comics; others, like Tomb of Ligeia, a Vincent Price-thriller produced by B-movie horror-king Roger Corman, was part of the Movie Classics title.

The Tomb of Ligeia was typical of horror fare in the late 1960s: Price stars as a sinister Victorian gentleman whose dark secret is discovered by young Rowena (played in the film by Elizabeth Shepard). Most of the action concerns Price’s efforts to conceal the horrifying truth about the Tomb of Ligeia.
