The Gerald McCann art is classy. Looks almost like an animated feature.

Having read issue #1 and now #2 of this series I would say so far it’s not all that impressive. The stories aren’t awful, but none of them have much to recommend either. A few unique ideas scattered in these two issues, but most of the writing feels lazy, clumsily constructed and derivative of superior predecessors. I also have nothing good to say about most of the art, which to me seems the product of being sloppily rushed and hollow. There are similarities to a low end Golden Age publisher’s output, particularly those ill conceived backup fillers with their vague outlines of art rathe than a substantial commitment with contextual ideas and imagination. In this issue one panel says there is a tremendous blizzard, but nothing after bears that out. Another story has two opposing characters who are so blandly delineated they look exactly alike. Etc. On the whole a relatively early silver age horror anthology was a great idea, but it doesn’t seem like much was invested in this attempt. Maybe the rest of the series is better, but I likely won’t explore more of it with so many other unread comics vying for my attention.
