Product Description:
Featuring over 60 classics of the 1950's that caused a furor in the US and sparked legislation to crack down on explicit horror, this volume also includes modern contributors.

- Horror ReviewNot a bad collection of stories for the price, but not great. Also the cover says over 50 great horror comics which is a lie. there are only 48 stories. Should be 51 according to the cover!! I suggest getting the House of Mystery Showcases first if you have not done so yet!

Some of my favorites in the bunch include:

- Ventage comics collectionsThe artwork was great with the recreation of the comic in readable and good text form. The use of printing the stories in black and white added and enhance the reading for the reader.
Now if they could only put out a publication of the collections of mysteries in space, and the complete collection of WEIRD SCIENCE (only vol 1 and 2 are available at this time).
