Book Synopsis Horror Comics in Black and White by : Richard J. Arndt
Download or read book Horror Comics in Black and White written by Richard J. Arndt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror comics were among the first comic books published--ghastly tales that soon developed an avid young readership, along with a bad reputation. Parent groups, psychologists, even the United States government joined in a crusade to wipe out the horror comics industry--and they almost succeeded. Yet the genre survived and flourished, from the 1950s to today. This history covers the tribulations endured by horror comics creators and the broader impact on the comics industry. The genre's ultimate success helped launch the careers of many of the biggest names in comics. Their stories and the stories of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.

Download or read book Four Color Fear written by Greg Sadowski and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A massive collection of never-before-collected pre-Comics Code horror comics of the 1950s. Of the myriad genres comic books ventured into during its golden age, none was as controversial as or came at a greater cost than horror; the public outrage it incited almost destroyed the entire industry. Yet before the watchdog groups and Congress could intercede, horror books were flying off the newsstands. During its peak period (1951–54) over fifty titles appeared each month. Apparently there was something perversely irresistible about these graphic excursions into our dark side, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust volume.

Book Synopsis The Weird World of Eerie Publications by : Mike Howlett
Download or read book The Weird World of Eerie Publications written by Mike Howlett and published by Feral House. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eerie Publications' horror magazines brought blood and bad taste to America's newsstands from 1965 through 1975. Ultra-gory covers and bottom-of-the-barrel production values lent an air of danger to every issue, daring you to look at (and purchase) them. The Weird of World of Eerie Publications introduces the reader to Myron Fass, the gun-toting megalomaniac publisher who, with tyranny and glee, made a career of fishing pocketbook change from young readers with the most insidious sort of exploitation. You'll also meet Carl Burgos, who, as editor of Eerie Publications, ground his axe against the entire comics industry. Slumming comic art greats and unknown hacks were both employed by Eerie to plagiarize the more inspired work of pre-Code comic art of the 1950s. Somehow these lowbrow abominations influenced a generation of artists who proudly blame career choices (and mental problems) on Eerie Publications. One of them, Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant), provides the introduction for this volume. Here's the sordid background behind this mysterious comics publisher, featuring astonishingly red reproductions of many covers and the most spectacularly creepy art.

Download or read book Classic Comics Triple-Horror Readers Giant written by Gwandanaland Comics and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THREE CLASSIC HORROR SERIES (AND MORE)! STRANGE: TALES YOU WILL NEVER FORGET - Do you like to be scared? Surprised? Shocked? Maybe even a little confused? Of course you do - we ALL do. That's one of the reason the horror comic has always been popular, and never more so than the 1950s. The B-Movies and the monster mashes were nothing compared to the comics. STRANGE was short-lived (pun intended), but brought us great stories and art --- and isn't that all that matters?? WEIRD ADVENTURES - In the final years before the Comics Code, horror comics enjoyed the freedom to stretch the boundaries of convention, and some would say good taste. WEIRD ADVENTURES took full advantage of those unencumbered days, and in a short three-issue series (1951) brought some of more mind-bending horror comics, with She-Wolf killers, bondage, severed heads and other youth-destroying topics. These were, from a horror-standpoint, the good ol' days, and Gwandanaland Comics helps to preserve that history with the first complete stand-along collection of WEIRD ADVENTURES in print! NIGHTMARE- This is a series unequaled in talent - Kinstler, Colan, Toth, Baker, Krigstein, Tuska, and other greats of the comic world contributed to this masterwork series (1953-1954). It spanned two publishers over those years, and the quality remained unmatched - the horror genuine, the thrills severe. It is a shame that a collection cannot have 7 covers, because this one would use them all without exception! The originals would cost hundreds....maybe thousands...but Gwandanaland Comics brings you the complete NIGHTMARE for a fraction of the cost - but will all the flavor of the originals, not a digitally-remastered anemic facsimile. Three incredible horror series - PLUS "SATAN VS. THE WORLD"! This is an economical black & white version of our full-color collection! GWANDANALAND COMICS(TM): We specialize in character collections - many for the first time in print; we also publish individual issues from the past as well as complete comic title series'. Our books are not digitally remastered; we use images from actual comics, and make only minor adjustments to bring out their best characteristics without losing the authentic feel - it is rarely perfect, but we believe it is exciting.
