Here's scans of the original EC comics that every episode from Seasons 1-5 was based on. Fair warning the links are graphic-heavy.

Seasons 1 and 2 - http://www.tv.com/shows/tales-from-the-crypt/forums/hbo-seasons-in-com ics-1-season-1-2-58677-809140/

Season 3 - http://www.tv.com/shows/tales-from-the-crypt/forums/hbo-seasons-in-com ics-2-season-3-58677-859977/

Season 4 - http://www.tv.com/shows/tales-from-the-crypt/forums/hbo-seasons-in-com ics-3-season-4-58677-909149/

Season 5 - http://www.tv.com/shows/tales-from-the-crypt/forums/hbo-seasons-in-com ics-season-5-58677-1044536/

Very interesting to compare them with the episode adaptations. Some are very close to the source material (with an obvious at the time 90s modernization) while others are entirely different.

Bringing this back for those who haven't read these.

I bet all of these stories are in the comic reprints, for those who collect and read comic books.

Bringing this back for those who haven't read these, yet.

Yes. These comic stories are just as addicting as their TV counterparts.

Thanks for posting these! 

Are the sizes of the images identical to the sizes of the physical comics? Or did the pages get shrunk down in digitization process?

[–] NeonManiac0 9 years ago

Seem to be regular scans.

Bringing this back again in case the board purge comes up soon.

I understand. It will be a shame that a great thread like this one would be taken down. I tell you something. If it hadn't been for this thread, I wouldn't have gotten into EC Comics, besides seeing the original comic book versions of this show's episodes.

Cool!

Boy. Knowing the many stories William Gaines and company had created, if HBO probably would've gone on with a few more seasons of TFTC, there'd be so many stories they could've chosen from. Like maybe Foul Play and Country Clubbing.
