Craig was already an EC veteran of three years here, and had drawn every cover in the series since the title had changed to <B>Crime Patrol</B></I> with issue #7. Confused? Okay, here goes: the series started as <B>International Comics,</B></I> changed to <B>International Crime Patrol,</B></I> became <B>Crime Patrol,</B></I> then <B>Crypt of Terror,</B></I> before finally settling on <B>Tales From the Crypt.</B></I> Interior art comes from Craig, Wood, Feldstein, and Kurtzman. This is an absolutely brilliant copy, practically unimprovable, and the highest grade CGC has awarded to a copy of issue #18. Overstreet 2003 NM 9.4 value = $2,100. <B>Estimate: $10,000-up</B> </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><!--<a name="PricesRealized"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#79735C"> <a name="PR"> <font face="arial" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"> <b>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#F6F6ED"> No Prior Data Recorded </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <font face="arial" size="1""> PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.

On occasion eBay live bid software cannot keep up with the pace of the auctions where 4-5 lots per minute can hammer down, so we recommend that you place a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment.
