Spellbound

From 1952 to 1957, Marvel’s Spellbound wove 34 issues of eerie, twist-ending horror and supernatural suspense, a staple of the pre-Code era. Anchored by frequent writers Carl Wessler, Stan Lee, and Hank Chapman, and brought to life by artists like Tony DiPreta, Dick Ayers, and Bill Everett, the series delivered chilling tales of ghosts, curses, and the uncanny. It stands as a key example of Marvel’s early foray into the genre that would later define the company’s Atlas-era output.
