An illustration Wrightson did of the EC host characters, the Old Witch, the Vault Keeper, and the Crypt Keeper.

A nice piece for Wrightson to do, giving beautiful tribute to EC as the source for the Warren host characters (Uncle Creepy, Cousin Eerie,and Vampirella), and the DC mystery host characters (Cain, Abel, Eve.)
And Wrightson with this page shows he is among the most talented artists to draw the EC characters, just as he was on the characters inspired by them.


In the wonderful age of the internet, I can link all the source material, just a click away. For most of the time I've collected comics, for exactly 50 years now, the EC line were almost impossible to find, and very prohibitively expensive if you could even locate a few issues. Now you can sample it easily for free, in its entirety :
