My Secret Confessions

A reprint anthology that's been quietly haunting British newsstands since 1965, My Secret Confessions packages pre-Code horror and crime shockers from American publishers like Charlton and ACG under a lurid romance banner. Though it's most frequently associated with the prolific John Rosenberger, who provided many of its cover paintings, the series is really a showcase for the anonymous, hard-boiled artists of the 1950s. As a cornerstone of Alan Class's vast reprint empire, it's a vital, scrappy time capsule of the ghoulish comics that survived the crackdown on the industry.
