About the series
The Tormented is a two-issue series from Sterling Comics, published in 1954, that delivers a compact, unsettling dose of pre-Code horror. The series is most associated with the artwork of Mike Roy and Mike Sekowsky, whose grim, shadowy visuals bring a palpable sense of dread to each page. Though brief, it stands as a stark artifact of its era, capturing the raw, unregulated edge of 1950s horror comics before the industry's self-censorship clamped down.
