☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Haunted Horror continues the Chilling Archives of Horror Comics! series by IDW and Yoe Books, collecting a fresh selection of pre-Code horror comics from the 1950s. The book reprints rare, often forgotten tales from publishers like Harvey, Ace, and others, showcasing the gruesome, unregulated content that sparked public outcry and the eventual Comics Code Authority. Editor Craig Yoe curates these ghoulish stories, complete with original ads and cover art, preserving the raw, unfiltered terror of the era's most notorious comics.
"Goodbye... World!" from The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics! #7 (2014, IDW; Yoe Books) delivers a haunting tale of isolation and hidden truths, centered on Jed Barnes, a man whose life is defined by the bandages he wears. When he saves Ruth from suicide and they marry, their fragile bond is tested by her growing desire to uncover what lies beneath the wrappings. Art by Manny Stallman and inks by John Giunta bring a stark, emotional intensity to the story, while Bernard Baily’s cover captures the story’s chilling atmosphere with striking, moody detail.
In a story of hidden scars and fragile trust, Jed Barnes—his face forever marked by an accident—finds unexpected connection when he rescues Ruth from despair. Their marriage begins as a quiet refuge, but as Ruth grows increasingly curious about what lies beneath his bandages, the fragile peace they’ve built begins to unravel.
