Rising from the depths of history comes an all-new examination of the 20th Century''s best horror comics, written by Peter Normanton (editor of From The Tomb, the UK?s preeminent magazine on the genre). From the pulps and seminal horror comics of the 1940s, through ones they tried to ban in the 1950s, this tome explores how the genre survived the introduction of the Comics Code, before making its terrifying return during the 1960s and 1970s. Come face-to-face with the early days of ACG?s alarming line, every horror comic from June 1953, hypodermic horrors, DC?s Gothic romance comics, Marvel?s Giant-Size terrors, Skywald and Warren?s chillers, and Atlas Seaboard?s shocking magazines. The 192-page full-color opus exhumes Bernie Wrightson?s darkest constructs, plus artwork by Frank Frazetta, Neal Adams, Mike Kaluta, Steve Ditko, Matt Fox, Warren Kremer, Lee Elias, Bill Everett, Russ Heath, The Gurch, and many more. Don''t turn your back on this once-in-a-lifetime spine-chiller?it''s so good, it''s frightening!
