Tales From The Crypt V2 #12 (Ongoing)

is an all-new ongoing take on the classic bi-monthly series of the same title from EC Comics that stopped publication with its February/March 1955 issue. The nomenclature V2 (for Volume 2) used herein distinguishes it from the original EC Comics series. It is currently published by Papercutz, a new graphic novel publishing company originally targetted for tweens 8-14, launched in the Spring of 2005 with the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but which is obviously expanding into more mature fare with this series. Although admittedly still aimed towards its original market by its stylized near-cartoonish artwork, as homage to EC Comics publisher William Gaines and classic series co-creator Al Feldstein, it remains true to form. It even includes the EC Comics logo on its cover--used with permission, of course--and is now beginning to gain a following from a broad spectrum of readers. Each issue features two 20-page tales of terror in the EC tradition, narrated by the original , , and .

Papercutz is proud to present "Innocent Gun" Parts One & Two by John L. Lansdale and Tim Smith 3! When a young man purchased an old handgun in a fit of jealous rage, he never expected it to come equipped with the soul of its previous owner, a former Dodge City Marshal! But who's calling the shots here; the gun owner, or the ghost? Also featuring "You Toomb," by Stefan Petrucha and TS3. --
