I Classici del Suspense

A short-lived but significant Italian series from Editoriale Corno, I Classici del Suspense ran for 16 issues between 1964 and 1965, reprinting classic American horror and suspense comics for a new audience. The series is most associated with the foundational work of editor and publisher Luciano Secchi, who curated a selection of chilling tales from EC Comics and other sources. It matters as a crucial early vehicle for bringing sophisticated, often macabre storytelling to Italian newsstands, helping to establish the enduring popularity of the horror genre in the country's comic book landscape.
