Lurid Little Nightmare Makers #7 - Color
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume Seven of Boardman Books' 'Lurid Little Nightmare Makers' series continues its archival reprinting of obscure, pre-Code horror and crime comics from the 1940s and 1950s. This installment collects a new set of grim, morally ambiguous tales that showcase the raw, unpolished artistry and transgressive storytelling that defined the era before the Comics Code Authority.
In "The Story of Tolerance," Wendy’s bold move to join the WAF sets off a chain of unexpected attention when the Air Corps, unable to replace her, fixate on her as an irreplaceable asset—despite her not being the person they thought. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick, this 2016 issue from Boardman Books captures a moment of quiet defiance and surprising consequence, all rendered in vivid color. The cover, by Jesse Guiher, perfectly frames the story’s tension.
In "A Replacement," Wendy enlists in the WAF to claim a man’s job, only to find the Air Corps more interested in the girl who can’t be replaced—no matter how hard they look. Written by an unnamed creator and illustrated by an unnamed artist, this six-page tale spins a wry, wartime farce where identity and duty collide in the most unexpected ways.
