About the series
From 1953 to 1954, St. John Publications unleashed Nightmare, a short-lived but visually striking horror comic that ran for just four issues. The series is best remembered for its evocative, often unsettling artwork, featuring the talents of Enrico Bagnoli, Bernie Krigstein, and Bob Powell, who brought a distinctive, shadowy atmosphere to each tale. Though brief, Nightmare stands as a potent example of pre-Code horror, capturing the genre's raw, unregulated edge before the industry's self-censorship era took hold.
