Shocking Fear

Shocking Fear, a two-issue series from Pastime Productions launched in 1982, is a brief but intriguing entry in the horror-comics landscape. Though its run was short, it stands as a curious artifact of the early-80s independent comics scene, showcasing the kind of raw, offbeat terror that smaller publishers could explore. The title’s legacy lies in its very obscurity, a snapshot of a moment when creators could still test macabre ideas in a slim, self-contained package.
