Shock

A short-lived but striking five-issue series from RGE, Shock (1977–1978) delivered a blend of horror, science fiction, and suspense in the anthology tradition. The title is most closely associated with writer/artist Richard Corben, whose visceral, painted style defined the book's lurid, imaginative tales. Though brief, the series stands as a vivid artifact of the late-1970s independent comics boom, showcasing Corben's raw, unpolished energy before his later, more celebrated work.
