Nightmare

Though it only ran for a single issue in 1953, Nightmare stands as a short-lived but notable entry from St. John Publications, a publisher known for its crime and romance comics. This one-shot leans into the pre-Code horror tradition, offering a self-contained anthology of eerie tales that tap into the era's fascination with psychological dread. While not a long-running series, it represents a moment when St. John tested the waters of the horror genre before the Comics Code Authority reshaped the industry.
