| Holy Wow this one is awesome! I love the stark colouring and the very imaginative scenes. A true gem in any era! |
|
| This one is one of the very best in supernatural & horror. Stories and art first class throughout. Great stuff! Enjoy. |
|
| Oh wow – now this one was a bit special – loved the gargoyle graphics in Horror-Go-Round – creepy – with an interesting slice of vampire lore and the kind of ride my ten-year-old self would have instantly gravitated towards. Death’s Beggar revisits Salem and a man just dying to live forever before deciding on the reverse - whilst Hands of Vengeance is a handsome tale of an artist scrabbling to gain revenge.
Top-notch pre-code entertainment |
