Forbidden Worlds Archives #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest issues of the classic 1950s horror-science fiction anthology series Forbidden Worlds, originally published by American Comics Group. Featuring a mix of eerie tales, alien encounters, and supernatural twists, it showcases the work of artists like Ogden Whitney and Richard Hughes. The collection preserves the pre-Code era's unfiltered, often bizarre storytelling that defined the genre before the Comics Code Authority reshaped the industry.
"Demon of Destruction" kicks off with Alice and Ken, two eager newcomers, turned away from Forbidden Worlds due to their lack of experience. On their way home, they stumble upon the abandoned Dustan House, where the lingering spirits of its former residents have been secretly feeding on the life force of intruders for two decades—uncovering a haunting secret buried in the past. Al Camy handles both art and inks, while Ken Bald delivers the eerie cover.
