Luis Dominguez paints the skull of Amicus’ Tales from the Crypt for Issue #93, a reprint-heavy Fearbook-format number: a Sir Cedric Hardwicke salute, Son of Kong, the 3-D oddity The Mask, and “Monster Kicks on Route 66” — Boris Karloff’s last turn in the Frankenstein makeup — with a “King Kong Is Coming Back” teaser keeping one eye on the future.

Curious where this copy came from? Every book here has a history — ask me in the Groups.
