Gasp!

American Comics Group’s Gasp! (1967–present) is a short-lived but memorable four-issue anthology series that leans into twist-ending horror and dark humor, a staple of the publisher’s late-1960s lineup. Writers Adam Barr, Mark S. Durand, and Shane O’Shea, alongside artists Dick Beck and Sal Trapani, crafted eerie, compact tales that often hinge on ironic fate or supernatural comeuppance. Though its run was brief, Gasp! captures the transitional era when pre-Code horror sensibilities were being reimagined for a more restrained comics landscape.
