The Crypt Keeper : ウィキペディア英語版
Tales from the Crypt (comics)

''Tales from the Crypt'' was a bi-monthly horror comic anthology series published by EC Comics from 1950 to 1955, producing 27 issues. (The first three issues of the series were titled "The Crypt of Terror". The title change began with issue #18, for a total of 43 issues in the series.) Along with its sister titles, ''The Haunt of Fear'' and ''The Vault of Horror'', ''Tales From the Crypt'' was popular, but in the late 1940s and early 1950s comic books came under attack from parents, clergymen, schoolteachers and others who believed the books contributed to illiteracy and juvenile delinquency. In April and June 1954, highly publicized Congressional subcommittee hearings on the effects of comic books upon children left the industry shaken. With the subsequent imposition of a highly restrictive Comics Code, EC Comics publisher Bill Gaines cancelled ''Tales from the Crypt'' and its two companion horror titles, along with the company's remaining crime and science fiction series in September 1954. All EC titles have been reprinted at various times since their demise, and stories from the horror series have been adapted for television and film.
== Publication history ==

Horror comics emerged as a distinct comic book genre after World War II when young adult males lost interest in caped crimebusters, and returning GIs wanted titillating sex and violence in their reading. One-shot ''Eerie'' (1947) is generally considered the first true horror comic, with its cover depicting a dagger-wielding, red-eyed ghoul threatening a rope-bound, scantily clad, voluptuous young woman beneath a full moon.〔Goulart, Ron. ''Great American Comic Books'' (Contemporary Books: Chicago, Illinois, 1986), ISBN 0-8092-5045-4, p. 255.〕 In 1948, ''Adventures Into the Unknown'' became the first regularly published horror title, enjoying a nearly two decade life-span.〔Goulart, ''Great American Comic Books'', p. 256.〕

In 1950, EC publisher Gaines and his editor Al Feldstein discovered they shared similar tastes in horror and began experimenting with horror tales in their crime titles. ''Tales from the Crypt'' traces its origin to a Feldstein story, "Return from the Grave!", in EC's ''Crime Patrol'' (#15, December 1949/January 1950) with the Crypt-Keeper making his debut as host. Issue #16 featured more horror tales than crime stories, and, with issue #17, the title changed from ''Crime Patrol'' to ''The Crypt of Terror''. Due to an attempt to save money on second-class postage permits, the numbering did not change with the title and continued as ''The Crypt of Terror'' for the next two issues.
''Tales from the Crypt'' debuted with issue #20 (October/November 1950), producing a total of 27 issues (excluding the initial three issues, #17-19, published as ''The Crypt of Terror''), before ceasing publication with its February/March 1955 issue (#46).
