Comic books January 1990

2nd and later printings.

By William K. Everson.

"The horror film genre (almost as difficult to define as classic) is a branch of filmmaking that has produced some magnificent films, but should have produced far more. More than any other kind of film, it depends for its ultimate effect on the scarying of the audience by manipulating their emotions."

William K. Everson takes a look at the history of this unique, fascinating genre from the days of the silent film to The Exorcist.

Story and art by Eddie Campbell.

"One of the most Original artists working in the comic strip medium, Eddie Campbell's skill is that of the great storyteller, who can happily let the point of the tale slip away, so intriguing is his manner of telling." - NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS

"Alec is magic...I like it because it fills me in on what would have happened to Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady if they'd traded in the Lincoln for a Ford Transit and moved to Southend-On-Sea. On the Pier as opposed to On the Road." - ALAN MOORE

"There's more to this stuff than the gags, but the puzzled good humour of MacGarry as 'life happens to him' is the endearing factor for me in all of the stories." - BRIAN BOLLAND.
