Tales from the Crypt, the Vault of Horror, the Haunt of Fear…the list of classic intensely violent EC Comics titles goes on for miles. Previously, their only availability outside of expensive originals was in black and white collections or single issue reprints with the issue orders all screwed up.

Well, Gemstone has taken it upon themselves to reprint these landmark tales of terror in a format befitting their quality: recolored, remastered hardcover editions. They’ll be similar to the DC Comics Archive Editions or Marvel Masterworks Editions already available and will cost roughly the same, about $50 bucks a pop. But you get a six issues per volume at the absolute peak of quality.

The first collections should be available early next year, starting with Tales From The Crypt, Two-Fisted Tales, Weird Science, and Shock SuspenStories
