HAUNT OF FEAR No. 23 Publisher: EC [Indicia: Fables Publishing Co.] Date Published: January-February, 1954 Description: G/VG (3.0). 1/2" split at top spine, 2" split at bottom spine, spine stressed and nicked, a few small edge nicks to back cover, edges of back cover toned. Off-white pages. Plots and scripts: Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein. Art: Graham Ingels, George Evans, Jack Davis, Jack Kamen. Overstreet: "EC version of the Hansel and Gretel story; SOTI, p. 241 discusses the original Grimm tale in relation to comics." GPAnalysis: A 3.0 sold for $225 in 11/21. A sexy blonde co-ed goes on a date with her history professor, hoping to charm her way onto the honor roll, but ends up mummified in his basement of horrors. In another story, an unexpected act of kindness causes an escaped convict to lose his mind. "Gaines and Feldstein laced the pages of EC comics with coded challenges to the prevailing standards of normalcy. Working allegorically through genre stories, they sought to engender sympathy for misfits, underdogs, and exiles of every breed — human, animal, fish, alien, living, dead, undead, and combinations thereof." — David Hadju, The Ten Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America.
