    Pre-Code Classics: Nightmare HC (2017 PS Artbooks) 1-1ST

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "December 1953 to August 1954!" Collects Nightmare (1952 Ziff Davis) #3 and Nightmare (1953 St. John) #10-13. St. John was a mid-sized comics publisher with a varied list of titles, and in June 1952 they joined the horror binge with two titles, Strange Terrors and Weird Horrors. Strange Terrors ended after seven issues, to be replaced by Nightmare #3, picking up from the Ziff-Davis series. However, they then combined the title Nightmare with the numbering from Weird Horrors, so that Weird Horrors #9 and Nightmare #3 were followed by Nightmare #10. And after Nightmare #13 the title was changed to Amazing Ghost Stories for its final three issues. Hardcover, 180 pages, full color. Cover price $59.99.

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "July 1952 to July 1953!" Collects Out of the Shadows (1952-1954) #5-9. Standard Comics did not believe in #1 issues.

Those titles were The Unseen, Out of the Shadows, and Adventures into Darkness, each lasting about ten issues of fairly well-done E.C. imitations. They also produced a suspense one-shot, Who Is Next? #5, that deserves mention - it features a town terrorized by a serial killer. Hardcover, 180 pages, full color. Cover price $59.99.

It was the 1950's - the Atomic Age, the Cold War, and just the before the Space Race. Comics books were the education, the entertainment, and, according to some, the downfall of America. What a great time! We loved to be scared - still do, it seems - from the comfort of our own home, secure in the knowledge that there's no real danger (or so we think). Nothing could match the imagination, the surprise, and the chilling-of-your-spine like the great horror comics of yesteryear. Who Is Next? #5, is a suspense one-shot and features a town terrorized by a serial killer. Hardcover, 216 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

    Written by Norman Maurer and Joe Kubert. Art by Joe Kubert and Mort Meskin. Cover by Joe Kubert.

    Tor the prehistoric warrior is a loner whose only true friend is his pet monkey, Chee-Chee.

    Joe Kubert described Tor as superior to the others in his clan, with an extra spark of humanity, who was instinctively striving for a better, more civilized way of life and with thanks to the work and obvious love that went into the series, what might have become a standard adventure strip, with man battling monster within the unusual prehistoric-world settings and situations was actually elevated to art!

    We're positive you'll love the thrills, adventure and danger that lurked everywhere one million years ago!
