Horror Comics in Black and White by Richard J. Arndt Pdf
In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.

VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, AND MONSTERS...... OH, MY! The black & white horror comic stretched the limits of what was proper and allowed. Stretched?

Today these issues are hard to find.... unless you know where to look, and this is the place to look! Published by Retro Comic Reprints [email protected]
Horror comics were among the first comic books published--ghastly tales that soon developed an avid young readership, along with a bad reputation. Parent groups, psychologists, even the United States government joined in a crusade to wipe out the horror comics industry--and they almost succeeded. Yet the genre survived and flourished, from the 1950s to today. This history covers the tribulations endured by horror comics creators and the broader impact on the comics industry. The genre's ultimate success helped launch the careers of many of the biggest names in comics. Their stories and the stories of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.
Censored out of existence by Congress in the 1950s, rare comic book images--many of which have been rarely seen since they were first issued--are now revealed once again in all of their eye-popping inventive outrageousness. Original.
A massive collection of never-before-collected pre-Comics Code horror comics of the 1950s. Of the myriad genres comic books ventured into during its golden age, none was as controversial as or came at a greater cost than horror; the public outrage it incited almost destroyed the entire industry. Yet before the watchdog groups and Congress could intercede, horror books were flying off the newsstands. During its peak period (1951–54) over fifty titles appeared each month. Apparently there was something perversely irresistible about these graphic excursions into our dark side, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust volume.

The long strange trip of Doug in all its mind-bending, heartbreaking totality.

Just like Doug. (With full-color illustrations throughout)
Black Cat Mystery Giant Readers Collection #1 by Gwandanaland Comics Pdf
As the 1950s arrives the horror comic was gaining ascendency over other genres. Superheros and adventures, while not completely disappearing, were losing ground. Harvey Comics wanted to increase their horror presence, but since mailing permits were expensive, it simply made sense to change the public title of an existing book. So, over the course of a few issues Black Cat Comics became Black Cat Mystery Comics. The character Black Cat stuck around for an issue or two, hosting the mystery tales, and a couple of covers, but then the classic horror comic took over and the transition was complete. Within a few issues BLACK CAT MYSTERY was producing the type of story for which the pre-Code era became known. Full of exciting stories and amazing artwork, BLACK CAT MYSTERY gave us three years of chilling gems before finishing off with short stints as BLACK CAT WESTERN and BLACK CAT MYSTIC. This book contains all the comic stories from BLACK CAT MYSTERY #29-48, and features incredible work by Bob Powell, Warren Kremer, Jack Sparling, Lee Elias and other greats.
