  • Tales from the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear and The Vault of Horror are three bi-monthly horror comic anthology series published by EC Comics in the early 1950s. Tales from the Crypt hit newsstands with its April/May 1950 issue (#20) and ceased publication with its February/March 1955 issue (#46), producing a total of 27 issues (excluding the initial three issues, #17-19, published under the title The Crypt of Terror). The title 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 William Maxwell Gaines canceled 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, in particular, have been adapted for television and film.
  • Байки из склепа — серия комиксов выходивших с 1949 по 1955 год. Истории для комиксов по большому счёту придумывали их создатели Билл Гейнс и Эл Фельдштейн, однако иногда в этом принимал участие Рей Брэдбери. Лицам же создававшим непосредственно иллюстрации к комиксам было рекомендовано развивать свой собственный стиль.
