Popular Post Larryw7 Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Tales from the Crypt 38 is another book that had a censored cover. Here is a picture of how it originally looked. The interiors make up for it. This is one of the goriest EC comics. Overall a great issue.

Had a tacky background. You would place it on a piece of art and trim it out with an exacto knife. I believe BenDay is basically the same thing. I used to use it a lot in my early days of graphic design. Raze, Larryw7 and OtherEric 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
