Ugh. I wish these things had stayed under copyright so we wouldn't have to host them. Lousy stories, bottom of the barrel art despite several good artists are shoehorned in, an an overall sleazy attitude.

Well, we don;t have to host them. [Lousy stories, bottom of the barrel art despite several good artists are shoehorned in, an an overall sleazy attitude.] That was exactly why I didn't pick those up back in the day. Shunned them actually. But all comics are history and I don't believe in censoring history. My attitude now is that overall they are still not my thing, but I can find a lot to like and to find out from them. Quite likely a lot of the creators would have preferred to be doing something else, but hey, you have to eat. This was Brodsky and Waldman's company and if you look at the names listed on page 3 they are all people who at that time were primarily associated with Marvel. This implies a degree of dissatisfaction with Marvel that in most of the 'Histories' goes unsaid. It's also clear that Brodsky and Waldman did not have Stan Lee's abilities. Not by a long shot. I also understand that their timing was pretty lousy.

Bill Everett one page pin-up. Grotesque but terrific.

I saw the old Skywald stuff and was a bit excited, I have the other Nightmare issues, i love them but do not want to upload items the site itself does not want... suggestions and feedback appreciated. I have not uploaded any comics since I had nothing to contribute, want to contribute

I’ve been an avid comic reader since the early 70ies. Always avoided Skywald (except for Devilina) until now. I’m finding this underrated stratum of comics history fascinating. At the moment I’m the familiarity of the Marvel bullpenners and Lovecraft references as well as the callbacks to golden age characters.

I bought and read the black & white comics from Skywald when they were first published. I liked them then and I like them now. I no longer have copies of these comics so I'm grateful that you are hosting these comics today. Thank you.

"The Creature Within" is lifted from "The Nightmare" published in Black Magic and Eerie in 1952 the artist re-inks over the pencils with some minor adjustments like adding pupils and hair where there wasn't any not bad, but strange to see something straight from the 50s show up in these skywald titles

The majority of the stories are reprints from the '50s, but with retouched art in most cases. Bill Everett's new illustrations are pretty good -- I still like his work from the late '40s thru the first half of the 1950s the most, but he was a fine artist even in his final years (passing away in 1973).
