SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES 8
"SEEP NO MORE"
EC's 5th foray into Poe was a VERY loose "adaptation", more like a "variation on a theme" really, taking its inspiration from...
"THE TELL-TALE HEART"
This was the 4th comics version of this story (more or less), following...
Charlton's YELLOWJACKET COMICS #6 (Dec'45),
EC's THE HAUNT OF FEAR #15 [1] (May-Jun'50), and
Gilberton's CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #84 (Jun'51),
...the latter about 2 years earlier.
The artist is one of the true GREATS in the business, George Evans.
This was his 1st of 4 POE adaptations.
When I originally set this up (11-5-2015), I only had part of the story (pages 30, 32 & 35), and that as scans of the original art! More than a year later (12-7-2016), I got ahold of the 1994 reprint, and have added the previously-missing pages 29, 31, 33 & 34. Since the scans of the original art were MUCH sharper than those of the reprint, the quality is uneven. But I wasn't going to replace the "good" pages! Pardon if the coloring is also inconsistent. If I'd had all 7 pages in B&W, I would have COLORED the whole thing.
