I didn't know there were so many! It would be great to have an omnibus! The Dark Horse stories were all collected in a book called "SPIRITS OF THE DEAD". The Marvel Max "HAUNT OF HORROR" were all collected in a single colume. The Warrens were collected in both CREEPY ARCHIVES and a special all-Corben book. The one Pacific book... well, that's been reprinted as well.
I guess it's like some recording artists who've moved from record label to label over the years...
10-15-19 addition: The DH "SPIRITS" hardbound contained 1 "extra" story. I hate when they do that. Guess what? They just did a TPB edition. That has 1 MORE "extra" story! I'm glad I skipped the hardbound. As soon as I get a chance, I'll be going after the paperback.

I was not too thrilled with the choice of font on these pages, but, it's how the pages looked, so...

In 1910, John Rea Neill did a GORGEOUS book illustrating 3 POE poems that I would absolutely love to get my hands on!!! I've seen copies on sale online, but they're WAYYYYY out of my price range. I've assembled what scans of pages I have been able to find in the meantime. Some years later, Neill became famous for illustrating a large number of Frank L. Baum's " OZ" books. Some of those originals can be found for reasonable prices online. THE RAVEN, ANNABEL LEE and THE BELLS(The Reilly & Britton Company / Chicago / 1910) art by John Rea Neill

Are you familiar with Dino Battaglia's Poe adaptations from the late Sixties and early Seventies? They're uniformly wonderful and have been collected in this volume (no English language version though):

As a matter of fact... someone a couple years back e-mailed me nice scans of the 8 Battaglia stories that tend to be collected together. Since then, I have BOUGHT the 2 magazines with the "other" stories that were published in a different, larger, and color format, so that I had all 10.
There were several artists who had managed to do 9 POE adaptations-- but Battaglia was the record-holder, until a few years ago when Corban completely passed him and then just kept going.
So far... I have processed the first 3 Battaglias. I remember the first one, "KING PEST", and for a day or two, just staring at the art, and wondering... should I even DO this? I mean, there was so much detail in his art... was it "right" for me to tamper with them in any way?
Eventually... I did. And MAN. Was I glad I did. The 3 Battaglias I've done so far... "KING PEST", "THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER" and "LADY LIGEIA", all became among my TOP FAVORITES so far in the entire project!!!!!

Here's a WEIRD one. Ferdinand Huszti Horvath did work for Disney's cartoons from 1934-37. But before that, he did this POE book. This is another one where I haven't been able to find an original for a price I can afford. But in 1990, a very disturbing Eclipse anthology included it as a reprint. The GCD had it listed in the WRONG book, so it became a rare instance where I had to return an order to a seller, then buy the correct book from someone else, to get the pages so I could scan them in. This looks very interesting... even Frank Thorne thought it was very cool. But I'd love to get the original book. THE RAVEN(Dodd, Mead & Company / New York / 1930) art by Ferdinand Huszti Horvath

And now, we come to the earliest actual "comic-book" in the project!! CLASSIC COMICS 17(Gilberton / January 1944) cover by Louis Zansky "THE BELLS" / art by Rolland Livingstone You're not imagining things-- I actually had the nerve to replace the lettering.
At some point, Gilberton CUT their page count-- and this included reprints of earlier issues. Usually the stories were edited, but in some cases, short back-up features were just eliminated. As a result, this poem was NEVER reprinted. i got my hands on it because a huge fan of these books actually had the original comic and sent me scans!!

Wait - you're Henry Kujawa? We've been on some of the same mailing lists and Yahoo groups for a few decades. It's great to see you here at CCF!
