Johnny Craig - Vault of Horror #38 Cover Recreation Original Art (circa 1982). When the original art for the cover of Vault of Horror #38 couldn't be located in Bill Gaines' files, publisher Russ Cochran commissioned Johnny Craig to recreate the cover for his The Complete EC Library set. In the Vault of Horror set, Johnny Craig explained his philosophy about setting the proper horror mood, "I don't think violence, or blood and guts is necessarily the only kind of horror that there is. Fear is horror too. Suspense, many things can be considered horror. And I preferred to deal with other than the physical type of thing." The image area of this deeply shadowed scene measures 13.5" x 19". The title logo and the portraits of the horror hosts are stats. The art is in Excellent condition.
