About this Collection

This volume collects the second batch of issues from Harvey Comics' classic horror anthology Witches Tales, presented as part of PS Artbooks' Harvey Horrors Collected Works series. Featuring the pre-Code era's macabre stories and artwork, it showcases the publisher's signature blend of supernatural chills and eerie illustrations from the 1950s and early 1960s.

"Toys of Terror!" from Harvey Horrors Collected Works: Witches Tales #2 (2012) delivers a chilling dive into madness and transformation, as Professor Durando, dismissed by his peers, pushes his serum experiments to the extreme—testing its power on himself with terrifying consequences. Rendered in bold, expressive art by Joe Certa, the story unfolds with a creeping dread that lingers long after the final page. The cover, a striking piece by Lee Elias, captures the tale’s eerie essence with vintage horror flair.
