So, the beginning of the article says that Arnold Friedman called CoF to say that Charles W. Fries from Metromedia need some old horror comics of the 1950s, and they provided the ECs to Fries... but then, they were disappointed in the movie that resulted!
So, the article goes from there to talk about other horror anthology ovies, and then into the tales themselves...
It is nice that as each of the Tales are discussed, they mention which EC comic the story came from!
Page 41 features a half-page article on artist Roy G. Krenkel (who painted covers for ERB paperbacks in 1963 and 1964), with the promise of some of Krenkel's workbeing reprinted in this mag in the future.
The bottom half of the page is an ad for a hardcover edition of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon comic strips, as well as a presumably 8mm full-length edition of Metropolis! The Flash Gordon book would run you $14.95 plus postage, while Metropolis would set you back $79.95, postage included!
Next time around: Film News! Letters!

now, i always though the ORINGAL Tales from the Crypt film was based on the comics, but then people kept saying 'No, only the later one with the zombie-ish Crypt Keeper is'.. this proves i was right all alone ^_^
Oh, and is is just me, or above that little Flash Gordon poster, is that Dale with Mr T?
Nice to be validated after all this time, eh? I'll bet none of these people who claimed you were wrong are in your circle of friends anymore -- or if they are, they'll deny making that claim themselves!
