Retro Comic Reprints #456

Collecting a remarkable cross-section of pre-code horror and science fiction titles from Wertham's era, this handsome 2023 hardcover color edition presents stories that were once at the center of comics history's most heated debates. The cover spotlights a looming, shadowy gorilla-like creature dominating the scene alongside human figures — a quintessential example of the lurid, attention-grabbing imagery that made these old anthology books so unforgettable. Part of Retro Comic Reprints' ongoing Wertham's Weapons series, Volume Three is a must for readers curious about the wild, untamed days of early American comics.
