Synopsis

In the genre's peak period (1951-1954), before it almost destroyed the comics industry, before the watchdog groups and Congress, over fifty horror titles appeared each month, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust and affordable volume. EC is the comic book company most fans associate with horror: therefore, for the average reader there remains unseen quite a batch of genuinely disturbing, compulsive, imaginative, at times even touching, horror stories presented from a variety of visions and perspectives, many of which at their best can stand toe to toe with EC. In Four Color Fear, the better horror companies are represented, and artist perennials contribute both stories and covers, with many of the forty full-sized covers created by specialists Bernard Baily, L.B. Cole, William Eckgren, and Matt Fox.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Editors Benson and Sadowski have sifted through hundreds of rare books to cherry-pick the most compelling scripts and art. They provide extensive background notes on the artists, writers and companies involved in their creation. Digital restoration has been performed with subtlety and restraint, with every effort made to retain the flavour of the original comics. Readers will feel like they've found an old bound volume of the finest non-EC horror covers of the pre-code era.
