Here are several sites, all by the same dude,  one Tillmann Courth.

His subject is Fifties Horror - and he must have put weeks [if not months] into this, so obviously he's obsessed - but in a good way, I think. An excellent resource. 

Each publisher site has artist bios - and that's their strength - and he has extensive pages of detail on the titles, the stories and the covers. So a terrific Golden Age resource.

I don't by any means agree with him on his opinions or his assessment of some of the artists and in some case I vehemently disagree.

Fifties Horror

This one is in Deutsch so you need to translate.

But it does contain his work on EC horror and much before besides

No Timely/Atlas list yet tho. 

He also has this one which is a collection of well-scanned Golden Age crime stories.
A great read if you are into that.

Wasn't Tillman a scanner who used to post here (or at DCM)?

I believe he started off with the Ace Horror site.

Reading his comments on the rational explanation ending, I realized that DC used this approach on their science fiction stories of the time (and I love DC's '50/'60 sci-fi) so the editors & writers seem to bring the sci-fi mindset to their attempts at horror not realizing that horror is kind of the anti-sci-fi whereas not having a rational explanation adds to the horror.

Exactly right.  Tilliban was a scanner in the JVJ Project and scanned many books for us here if you look him up.  He got to know JVJ personally meeting Jim in Paris, France.

Tilliban was quite active in our hobby here until he was lured away by the pros...

Tillmann has worked as an editor for the German language comics magazine COMIXENE since 2016.
You can check out their site here, they cover a lot of ground - https://comixene.com/index.html

I take it that the Ken Shannon series was much like the Dylan Dog series?

[paw broon]

Not really.  Dylan Dog stories from the very start were populated with "horror" characters, including the very best known types, vampires, monsters, Rippers, spectres, Invisible Man and so on.
Crossover with Batman, soon?  or is it out?
Covers (German versions):-

Actually some of the Ken Shannon stories are DDish but there a lot of  - I hesitate to use the term standard - crime stories.  Dylan Dog is horror and a lot of it beautifully drawn.
