In this, the first of back-to-back Edgar Allan Poe specials, Warren cuts his bullpen of Spanish artists (and Richard Corben) loose on the author's famous "Tales of Mystery and the Imagination." The results are a masterful collection of the macabre stories that Poe is best known for. There has been numerous comic adaptation of Poe over the years and these stand as some of the best. Included is an interesting, on-going feature about how comics are made. This issue covers "the story".
