The Swamp Thing, Creepy, and Vampirella. . . . Tales from the Crypt, Forbidden Worlds, House of Mystery - you remember these. Since the 1950s and '60s, these classics and hundreds of others haunted your corner newsstand. Now, in the first-ever illustrated history of the genre, Mike Benton brings all your favorite horror comics to spine-tingling life.
From the first classic ECs to the latest graphic novels, Benton gives you the complete story of the comics, their creation, and the talented writers and artists behind them. In chapters like "Eyeballs, Guts, and Splattered Brains," "We'll Burn Your Comics," and "Disco Dancing Zombies from Watergate," you'll find all sorts of fascinating, inside information, and behind-the-scenes details - everything you want to know about the comic books your parents hated.
Complete with a special section on collecting comics, a checklist of horror comics, the entire text of The Comics Code, and several specially re-colored examples of the gruesome panels cited by Dr. Fredric Wertham in his infamous Seduction of the Innocent, this is the most comprehensive work in horror comics ever.
If you ever smuggled your favorite horror comic into the house, this is a book you can't do without!
