The Atlas Comics Library No. 6: Shiver as You Read!

Pulp horror classics from the 1950s! Revenge, ghosts, locked rooms and killer ants, taken from early Marvel Comics seriesMen's AdventuresandAmazing Detective Cases.

Publisher Marketing: These collected editions have everything you could want and more... As far as the stories themselves, they really feel like classic horror.-- "Comics With Dan" Review Quotes : The coloring and the artwork is just so incredible in this... There's no slouch here.-- "Taylor Talks Comics" Review Quotes : There's a free-wheeling enthusiasm to the stories and art that transcend the times. It's interesting as a historical document, but, more importantly as a comic collection, just plain horrific fun.-- "Cinema Sentries" Publisher Marketing : The 1950s boom in horror comics saw Atlas Comics' entrée into the genre. Beginning in March 1952, Amazing Detective Cases began detailing cases where justice was served in supernatural fashion and beginning in May 1953, the adventures in Men's Adventures were taken over by ghosts, murderous revenge, and psychological terror. The cream of Atlas' artistic line-up -- including recent EC stars and future Marvel staples - rose to the grisly challenge of the horror genre. Each issue is crammed with four condensed tales of creeping dread, ironic comeuppance, or startling twists, all from a different artist or team.
