OUT OF THE SHADOWS - Vol 1 - PRE-CODE HORROR COMICS

Description: Measures 7-9/32" X 10-1/2", 185+ full color pages, stated "FIRST EDITION" and "APRIL 2017," hardcover published by PSArtbooks (UK). Group 1-1253 Lightly worn & chipped edges & corners, with light scratches, indentations & rub-wear -- fingerprints along front lower left edge THESE ARE THE COMIC BOOKS THAT MY MOTHER WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO READ!!! Actually, until I was a teenager in the 1960s, I didn't even know that comic books like this had EXISTED (until the Comics Code Authority of the mid-1950s had snuffed them from existence!). We had lived in a suburb of a suburb of a suburb, and the few comic book spinners available to kids of my age in the 1950s featured only Dell Comics, DC Comics, Classics Illustrated, and an assortment of other "safe" comics that could only give nightmares to children whose psyches had been damaged by attempts to question the logic of animals who could talk. In other words -- NO HORROR COMICS!!! Until years later, after my exposure to EC Comics, I was shocked to discover how much had been withheld from us -- and now gone forever. . .until those good folks at PSArtbooks began reprinting these beautiful, full color collections of all those juicy, horrible tales that had been concealed from our innocent, impressionable minds. I have raved about these PSArtbooks reprints in the past; and I'll continue raving -- these are some of the BEST reprint editions that I've ever encountered; and Volume 1 of OUT OF THE SHADOWS is no exception. This volume contains complete reprint pages from issues 5 (July 1952) through 9 (July 1953), and includes stories and artwork by GEORGE ROUSSOS, NICK CARDY, MIKE PEPPE, JACK KATZ, ALEX TOTH, JOHN DUFFY, ROCCO "ROCCE" MASTROSERIO, HERB FIELD, JERRY GRANDENETTI, GEORGE TUSKA, JOHN MARVIN, ART SAAF, RUBEN MORIERA, ROSS ANDRU, WOODROW MAN, MO MARCUS, H. HENDRYX, ED HAMILTON, MARGARET ISBELL, BILL WOOLFOLK, ALDO RUBANO, CHARLES SULTAN, REED CRANDALL and , RALPH MAYO, amongst others. So scare yourself silly, and find out from what the Moms of the 1950s were protecting us!!!
