Description

Continuing my cover recreation studies of great artists & covers...  These recreations are completely hand-drawn with ink on Bristol board with the exception of the Comics Code stamp when applicable (hehe).  Logos & trade dress drawn with Pitt pens, French curve, circle templates, and a ruler.  Artwork re-pencilled with a lightbox and then inked freehand with a Raphael 8404 sable brush.


In this case, the cover  from Crypt of Terror #18 --


The original art was created by Johnny Craig, copyright EC Comics.


Here is the original piece:

That was a great cover, I loved that period. Sad, I just sold my 1980 5 volume Crypt set to a dealer the other day.
