Pre-Code Classics: Dark Mysteries #1

This handsome PS Artbooks hardcover collects the first eight issues of Dark Mysteries (June/July 1951 through April/May 1952), bringing together a thrilling run of pre-Code horror and suspense in one volume. The reproduced cover art — penciled by Joe Orlando and inked by Wally Wood — sets the tone beautifully, depicting a winged creature menacing a red-haired woman while a green ghoul lurks nearby, promising tales of sea witches and ghouls of death within. For fans of early-1950s horror comics, this 2018 collection is a genuinely satisfying way to experience some of the era's most atmospheric storytelling in a handsome, archival-quality edition.
