Poe 1968, Pt. 34

(Continued from Poe 1968, Pt. 33)

3 HISTOIRES EXTRAORDINAIRES
"LA CHUTE DE LA MAISON USHER"
     (w/ English Translation)

Editions Serg is a publisher in France.  In 1973, they put out a book that had been created in 1968, but, apparently, had somehow been sitting around for 5 years.  I decided to "file" it under its creation date, not its publication date.

This is my very 1st book from Switzerland, and although the book itself was created & published in France, I keep referring to it as "the Swiss book".

This amazing book contains heavily-illustrated versions of 3 stories...

"LA SCARABEE D'OR"
"LA CHUTE DE LA MAISON USHER"
"METZENGERSTEIN"

2nd up...

"THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER"

      This was the 8th version of this, following...
Charlton's YELLOWJACKET COMICS #4 (Dec'44),
Gilberton's CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #40 (Aug'47),
Register & Tribune's THE SPIRIT (Aug'48),
EC's THE VAULT OF HORROR #13 (Jun-Jul'50),
Prize's BLACK MAGIC #28 (Jan-Feb'54),
EC's TERROR ILLUSTRATED #1 (Nov'Dec'55),  and
Taika's ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR #5 (1967)
     ...the last about a year earlier.

I'm splitting this up into 2 parts, just as I did with the Harley M. Griffiths version.  Due to the nature of this being an "illustrated story", I was able to use the original 1839 Poe text for about 95% of the story.  ENJOY!
