Bringing back Golden Age Horror!
« on: January 26, 2013, 05:03:47 PM »

Hello. My small press, SD Publishing, is launching a project to bring back the Golden Age horror that we all love and miss by picking stories from all titles, all publishers, and compiling them into new volumes. Our first issue, The Creature Triple Feature is due out in May. I suppose you could compare it to what IDW is doing with Haunted Horrors. Anyway, if you're interested we've got more information and preorders going on over at our kickstarter. Below is a rundown of the details and the link. Thank you for your time.

"Golden Age horror comics. Has there been anything better in the comics world since? A time before the Comics Authority Code and the mainstreaming of the entire medium, but sadly it is long gone. And we don't just mean that time is gone; the comics, the companies, all of it. Who will preserve this by-gone era? SD Publishing-that's who.

Luckily, there is still time to keep your favorite monsters, creeps, and creatures alive. As the publishers, such as Prize, Quality, and Fawcett went out of business their copyrights expired so many of those old titles are now public domain. This means they are fair game for anyone who wants to publish them. However, the current major publishers aren't interested in printing anything that they can't make a billiion dollar movie out of. That leaves the task up to us-the real fans and coniesseurs of comics history. As such, SD Publishing (the team that brings you the serial killer crime drama Risher) is launching it's "SD Classics Presents" line.

Hold on! This isn't your average reprinting effort. in addition to sharpening the original pages as much as possible to make them "pop", we will be handpicking stories across all publishers and titles and repackaging them in a way the originals could never do. Our first offering of SD Classics Presents is a perfect example of what we are doing-the Creature Triple Feature. This blast from the past is 3 horrifying tales of beings not quite human...Vampires! Werewolves! and Frankenstein's Monster! Vincent Price himself will be shivering in his grave!

First up, we have "The Rebirth of the Monster" from Prize's Frankenstein #18 (1952).

Next, we present "The Vampire Terror", from Superior's Mysteries Weird and Strange #8 (1954)

And we will close the issue with "The Werewolf of Washington Square", from St. John's Publications' Nightmare #3 (1953)"

your kickstarter is rife with spelling mistakes, that doesn't bode well for the production of your books.

Nice cover Narf.

I hope that SD Publishing will mention the likely source of their scans - CB+ or DCM.
Maybe include a URL or something.

Seems only fair to me.

From your keyboard to their eyes Yoc.

BTW: As much as I like Reed Crandal's art, I find it hard to take Dollman "seriously" as a superhero. Him or any other small hero that is used other than for espionage. The main exception was the Atom because he went far beyond just getting small. I think others may have felt likewise and is why Marvel made Antman into Giantman and gave Wasp her sting.
