Scary Tales

From 1977 to 1978, K. G. Murray's Scary Tales delivered five issues of lurid, no-holds-barred horror comics, tapping into the era's appetite for macabre anthology storytelling. The series is most strongly associated with the distinctive, often surreal work of writer-artist Paul Kirchner, whose contributions alongside frequent writer Joe Gill and artist Tom Sutton gave the book a gritty, unpredictable edge. A brief but potent entry in the Australian publisher’s horror line, it stands as a raw, unfiltered snapshot of the genre’s twilight in the pre-Watchmen landscape.
