Volume 1 - 1st printing. "June/July 1951 to April/May 1951!" Collects Dark Mysteries (1951-1955) #1-6.

How can you go wrong when the first comic of a 24-book series kicks off with an eight-pager from Wallace Wood ("The Curse of the Sea Witch")? True, the work in these books won't win a Pulitzer but, that's more a reflection on the judges than the material. And that's only for starters. Elsewhere there are tales from Joe Orlando, Walter Johnson, Ed Goldfarb, A.C. Hollingsworth, Bill Fraccio, Lou Cameron, John D'Agostino, Tony Tallarico, Harry Harrison and Hy Fleishman and a whole host of other wacked-out-of-their-gourd luminaries.

Hardcover (with slipcase), 216 pages, full color. Cover price $54.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "June/July 1952 to June 1953!" Collects Dark Mysteries (1951-1955) #7-12.

You could be forgiven for thinking, hey, they must have run out, right? They must have exhausted all the good stuff by now with the ACG titles pretty near-on gone, along with Planet, Jet Power, all the Harvey titles, Tom Corbett, The Heap, Rulah, Strange Suspense, and who knows what else. Yeah, you'da thunk it, but check this out! A second collection featuring issues 7 through 12 of Dark Mysteries boasting yarns from Joe Orlando, Walter Johnson, Ed Goldfarb, A.C. Hollingsworth, Bill Fraccio, Lou Cameron, John D'Agostino, Tony Tallarico, Harry Harrison, and Hy Fleishman and a whole host of other wacked-out-of-their-gourd luminaries!

Created by Dick Ayers and Ray Krank, Rex Fury was originally known as the Calico Kid, who together with his white horse Spectre became the Ghost Rider!

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "March to November 1953!" Collects (1952-1954) #4-8.

Cover by Don Heck.

Comic Media were a respectable publisher that produced two horror titles, Weird Terror and Horrific, and we've selected a few of these fabulous weird tales of terror issues here in this collection! The odd thing about these titles is that the publisher was convinced that faces sold comics; he insisted that every issue have some sort of a face dominating the cover, and Don Heck, his cover artist, eagerly obliged. Werewolf faces, monster faces, terrified faces -- always faces.

Go get 'em, pronto, because by 1955 Don was recruited by Stan Lee and went on to be one of the architects of what became known as "The Marvel Age of Comics" so you won't be getting any more of those fabulous covers!

Featuring the Work of Don Heck, Don Perlin, A.C. Hollingsworth, Rudy Palais, Keneth Landau, Marty Elkin, and Pete Morisi.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "May 1953 to January 1954!" Collects Mysteries (1953-1955) #1-5.

This one's a wacky entry and no denying, with Canadian publisher Superior Comics coming into the four-color horror ring all gloved up and swinging fit to punch the lights out of anybody who stands in their way. They kicked off with Journey Into Fear, Strange Mysteries (as opposed to pretty straightforward and perhaps even slightly boring mysteries), and the one-word extravaganza that was Mysteries, the latter calling itself variously Mysteries (its legal title) and, on the cover, Mysteries Weird and Strange.

The earlier tales were bizarre and quirky and it's pretty clear that inspiration was in short supply that day. Good stuff though, Clancy, with pens, pencils and plots coming from, among others, Jay Disbrow and the Igor Shop: clear a space on the shelf pronto.

This one's a wacky entry and no denying, with Canadian publisher Superior Comics coming into the four-color horror ring all gloved up and swinging fit to punch the lights out of anybody who stood in their way. The tales were bizarre and quirky, with pens, pencils and plots coming from, among others, Jay Disbrow and the Igor Shop.

Writer and illustrator Jay E. Disbrow worked as a comic book artist during the 1950s and he is especially remembered for his pre-Code horror comics, and has become (certainly around the PS offices) a cult favorite for his stories filled with demons, ghostly apparitions and other monsters.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "May 1953 to January 1954!" Collects Mysteries (1953-1955) #1-5.

This one's a wacky entry and no denying, with Canadian publisher Superior Comics coming into the four-color horror ring all gloved up and swinging fit to punch the lights out of anybody who stands in their way. They kicked off with Journey Into Fear, Strange Mysteries (as opposed to pretty straightforward and perhaps even slightly boring mysteries), and the one-word extravaganza that was Mysteries, the latter calling itself variously Mysteries (its legal title) and, on the cover, Mysteries Weird and Strange.

The earlier tales were bizarre and quirky and it's pretty clear that inspiration was in short supply that day. Good stuff though, Clancy, with pens, pencils and plots coming from, among others, Jay Disbrow and the Igor Shop: clear a space on the shelf pronto.

Hardcover (with Slipcase), 184 pages, full color.

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.
