☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints a selection of horror and science fiction comics from the 1950s, originally published by a variety of small presses and later compiled under the Thrill Book! banner by Pure Imagination. It showcases the lurid, often over-the-top artwork and storytelling typical of the pre-Code era, featuring tales of aliens, monsters, and the macabre. The volume serves as a sampler of vintage genre comics from the atomic age, appealing to fans of retro horror and sci-fi ephemera.
In the shadowy streets of a city on edge, a mysterious alien-like killer strikes under cover of night, leaving twelve victims in his wake. When police lieutenant Jordan unravels the chilling truth, he confronts a seemingly ordinary man in a monstrous costume—revealing a quiet window clerk seeking vengeance for years of cruelty. A striking blend of noir dread and twisted irony, this story features Jack Cole’s distinctive art and inks, and a cover by Joe Orlando, Wally Wood, and Russ Heath, each contributing to its eerie, timeless look.
