Good chills from the Atlas era of MarvelRead it on the phone. Good digital version. Each panel is well rendered in the guided view, witj poping colors. This stories might not get you nightmares, and may seem tame for today standards, but are a fine example of the pre-code, pre-Mighty Thor era of this book. Recommended if you can get it on comixology/kindle unlimited subscriotion, or on the $0.99 sale of Masterworks each december on amazon digital.
That's the stuffPre-code horror, I suspect one either loves it or loathes it. For me it's so much fun. The artwork is surprisingly good. The plots don't make a lick of sense, but who cares. Make mine Marvel!!!
I really love reading the old Marvel (Atlas comics back then) monster and horror stories. they have a very different "feel" than today's stories. Somehow simpler and more direct. Nice collection of the beginning of this great comic. Recommended
Definitely a mixed bag in terms of writing, which is mostly uncredited (only Stan Lee and Carl Wessler are identified as writers, and only on a very few of the stories), but the art is incredibly evocative. As the long reading period suggests, this is thew sort of book you pick up, read a few stories, and go back to later. Only the Jerry Robinson story in issues 9-10 has any continuity between issues, and it probably should have had another follow up, since its twist ending was one I didn't see
I'd have no problem ripping the book apart if it deserved it, but after the first few chapters, I felt myself drawn in to this story.
Anthology comic book of pre-code eerie short stories. All of them with a plot twist at the end that sometimes is pretty predictable.
Fun pre-superhero Marvel storiesShortly before Marvel hit it really big with the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man Marvel released books like this, which owed more than a little to the EC horror books released only a few years before. Though not quite as edgy and gory as the EC books, the stories presented here are perfectly entertaining and, if you look hard, you’ll spot early examples here and there of artists who would blossom into greatness a short while later. Recommended!
