Beware

A single-issue oddity from the 1955 Merit line, Beware is a pre-Code horror comic best remembered for its striking cover and interior art by Myron Fass. Though it only saw one release, the series stands as a snapshot of the era's fading appetite for macabre anthology tales before the Comics Code tightened its grip. It matters as a brief, unpolished artifact of a publisher and artist who would go on to define the chaotic, low-budget energy of 1960s and '70s genre comics.
