Vault of Horror (RCP)

    (RCP, 1991-1992)
® and ©1991 William M. Gaines, Agent

Noted EC-phile Russ Cochran took over the task of republishing the old EC Vault of Horror comics in 1991, along with other EC titles such as Tales from the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear. These $2.00 volumes contained sixty four pages each of spine-tingling terror from the Vault-Keeper, the Old Witch, and of course, the Crypt Keeper.

Following Gladstone’s formula, Cochran began by publishing giant-sized editions containing one issue of Vault of Horror, along with an issue of Weird Science or some other classic EC title. After trying out the formula for a few issues with this series, he then undertook the grailquest of EC republishers, faithfully reprinting the original comics in their entirety as regular monthly comics.
