Spook

Jay Disbrow anchored this short-lived horror anthology from Star Publications, scripting and drawing many of its nine issues alongside artists George Appel and George Peltz. Running from 1953 to 1954, Spook delivered standalone tales of the macabre and supernatural, fitting neatly into the pre-Code horror boom that would soon be curtailed by the Comics Code Authority. A modest but representative entry in the era's ghostly genre, it showcases the raw, unpolished energy of early 1950s horror comics.
