Lurid Little Nightmare Makers #7 - Black & White
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis seventh volume in the Lurid Little Nightmare Makers series collects a fresh selection of black-and-white horror and suspense comics from the pre-Code era, showcasing the raw, unpolished artwork and grim storytelling that defined the genre before the Comics Code Authority. Featuring reprints from obscure and forgotten titles, the anthology continues the series' mission of preserving the gritty, low-budget charm of 1940s and 1950s newsstand frights.
In "The Story of Tolerance," Wendy’s bold move to join the WAF to claim a man’s job sets off a chain of unexpected consequences—when the Air Corps sees her in uniform, they’re not just impressed by her skill, they’re desperate to replace the one person no one can spare. Written by Paul S. Newman and brought to life with expressive art by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Rudy Lepick, this 2016 Black & White issue from Boardman Books captures a moment of quiet defiance with warmth and wit. The cover, by Jesse Guiher, perfectly frames the story’s quiet tension.
In "A Replacement," Wendy enlists in the WAF to claim a man's job, only to find the Air Corps suddenly obsessed with replacing her—because they can't find a replacement for the girl she's replaced. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, this six-page black-and-white tale delivers sharp, absurd humor with a wartime twist.
