Shocking Mystery Cases

A short-lived horror anthology from Star Publications, Shocking Mystery Cases ran for eleven issues between 1952 and 1954, delivering twist-filled tales of the macabre. The series is most associated with artists George Peltz, Jay Disbrow, and Louis Ravielli, whose moody illustrations brought its grim narratives to life. Though brief, it stands as a representative example of the pre-Code horror comics that flourished in the early 1950s.
