Four Color Fear
Four Color Fear: Forgotten Horror Comics of the 1950s | Greg Sadowski, John Benson
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A massive collection of never-before-collected pre-Comics Code horror comics of the 1950s. Of the myriad genres comic books ventured into during its golden age, none was as controversial as or came at a greater cost than horror; the public outrage it incited almost destroyed the entire industry. Yet before the watchdog groups and Congress could intercede, horror books were flying off the newsstands. During its peak period (1951–54) over fifty titles appeared each month. Apparently there was something perversely irresistible about these graphic excursions into our dark side, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust volume.

Finished all four volumes of Four Color Fear! Most of the stories seem pretty silly these days, but there are a few that are pretty whacked out! Included is some background information on publishers, writers, and artists. To sum up: I had a ton of fun looking at these! 👹
