THE VAULT OF HORROR #38 - A classic horror comic from EC Comics, published in September 1953 at the height of the Golden Age of comic books.
This issue features the iconic horror anthology format that made EC Comics legendary, with three distinct creepy tales introduced by the memorable host characters: the Vault-Keeper, the Crypt-Keeper, and the Old Witch. The cover showcases a sinister man in a crimson suit confronting mysterious supernatural forces, setting the tone for the macabre stories within. The first story, "Any Sport in a Storm," introduces readers to Drisilla, the hostess of the Vault, and launches into a tempest-tossed frightening cruise featuring the yellow gazette and other horrific elements that defined EC's storytelling approach.
This issue also contains anti-communist propaganda content typical of 1950s comics, with editorial material addressing concerns about communist influence on the comic book industry—a reflection of Cold War-era anxieties that permeated American media at the time.
The Vault of Horror was one of EC Comics' flagship horror titles and remains highly collectible among vintage horror comic enthusiasts.
