Publisher's Synopsis
When Eerie Publications hit the scene in the mid-60's they hit upon an interesting idea for writing their horror stories --- they just wouldn't do it. Why pay writers, they apparently thought, when there were so many great horror comic stories already out there? So, Eerie took stories already in print, mostly from the early 1950s, and gave them to artists to redraw in a modern vein, generally more graphic, more gory. Sometimes the original story was reworked, but more often it was redrawn altogether. This was not, strictly speaking, legal --- in fact, it was piracy. Still, either no one noticed, perhaps thinking that the story seemed vaguely familiar at times, or no one was left from those companies to care. Either way, Eerie Publications put out some excellent work, and left comic historians with an interesting study. HORROR TALES was the third-longest-running series for EERIE at 45 issues, and contains some classic examples of the excellent stories of the Golden Age of Horror and the modern artistic interpretation - comic history from Gwandanaland!
This book reprints the Issues V1#7-V3#1 --- NOTE: Eerie was not shy about reprinting stories, so you will find a lot of overlap between HORROR TALES and the other Eerie titles.
