The EC Archives: The Vault of Horror,Vol. 1
by R.L. Stine, Al Feldstein
This... just isn't very good. Comics have clearly come a long way since these were first published. They're predictable, enormously simplistic, the art's not that appealing, and they're all a bit dull really. Mostly the stories here rely on old horror tropes of monsters and undead corpses and revenge from beyond the grave and so forth - and the last comic collected in this volume is entirely ripped off from Oscar Wilde. Now I don't mind retellings, and I love horror tropes generally, but this is so very basic in its approach that it's hard to find anything to admire about the story-telling.
