Al Feldstein

Al Feldstein was a comic book artist, painter author and editor who used to work on the old Tales from the Crypt comic book series published by EC Comics. Arriving in 1948 at Bill Gaines' Entertaining Comics, Feldstein began as an artist but soon combined art with writing and became the editor on most of the EC titles. Although he originally wrote and illustrated approximately one story per comic, in addition to doing many covers, Feldstein eventually focused on editing and writing, reserving his artwork primarily for covers. From late 1950 through 1953, Feldstein edited and wrote stories for seven EC titles.
