Three original 5x7" prints. In the original mailing envelope, printed "VK / OW / CK / 55 Beverly Road / Merrick, N.Y." and addressed to "Carlin Woolf / Box 22 / Piedmont, Alabama." Photos are in e xcellent condition; a bit of wear and soiling to mailing envelope. "The first EC premiums... were 5x7" black and white photos of the hosts of EC's horror comics, the three 'GhouLunatics.' They were offered in letter columns beginning in late 1950, and continued for two years. The photos were originally offered separately for 10¢ each, but later sold as a set of three for 25¢. The photos are heavily retouched shots of artist Johnny Craig (in costume and make-up) taken by editor Al Feldstein About 10,000 sets were eventually sold, and they are quite rare.... The photos were the idea of staff 'gofer' Paul Kast, and Gaines donated the proceeds from them to help pay Kast's way through law school. Kast mailed out the photos from his home in Merrick, NY, in a small manila envelope, and the 'VK, OW, CK' on the return address denotes the Vault Keeper, Old Witch, and Crypt Keeper." — Grant Geissman, Collectibly MAD: The Mad and EC Collectibles Guide.
