Pre-Code Classics: Weird Terror #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover volume collects the first issues of the 1950s horror comic series Weird Terror, originally published by Key Publications before the imposition of the Comics Code. Featuring gruesome, pre-Code tales of monsters, ghouls, and supernatural vengeance, the book showcases the unregulated, often shocking artwork and storytelling that defined the era's horror genre. It's a key entry in PS Artbooks' ongoing series of Pre-Code Classics reprints, preserving these rare and historically significant comics for modern readers.
"Hitler's Head" is a chilling, offbeat tale from Pre-Code Classics: Weird Terror #1, a 2016 release that delivers a surreal twist on domestic horror. Written and illustrated by Ken Landau, the story follows Homer Bobble, a man whose life takes a grotesque turn after a violent act and a shocking electrical storm. The cover, by Don Heck, perfectly captures the story’s eerie, off-kilter tone.
