Gwandanaland Comics #378

This Gwandanaland Comics collection brings together the complete first seven issues of Web of Evil, the pre-Code horror anthology that promised "Weird Adventures into the Supernatural." The reproduced cover art — inked by Chuck Cuidera — sets the tone perfectly: a leering, decomposed ghoul looms large beside a grinning skull, while a terrified woman is menaced on a speedboat in a murky swamp, all beneath the chilling featured story title Ghosts of Doom. If you're drawn to the lurid imagination and anything-goes energy that defined early 1950s horror comics, this 2017 volume is a genuinely satisfying way to experience it all in one place.
