Written by Peter Normanton. Art by Alex Ross. Cover by Joseph Koutachy and Various. I, the Cryptologist, throw open my putrid sanctuary, as acclaimed illustrator Alex Ross regales us with the gory lowdown on his Universal Monsters paintings. Tim Leese and Hammer Time then take us face-to-face with that studios classic film Brides of Dracula. Mark Voger puts the horrors of 3-D movies of the 1950s into focus, and editor Peter Normanton literally brings that eras 3-D comic books to life with a mini-history, and complete 3-D story reprint! From there, we embark on a journey to discover the early origins of blood-curdling slasher movies, as a prelude to the macabre pre-Code artwork of Atlass Bill Everett and ACGs 3-D maestro Harry Lazarus. Another Killer B movie awaits (courtesy of Steve Kronenberg), as does cartoon creepiness by Pete Von Sholly. Its a crypt full of the macabre, prepared especially for retro horror fans! 80 pages, full color. Cover price $10.95.
