Volume 3 - 1st printing. "1953-1954!" Collects Ghost Rider (1950-1954 Magazine Enterprises) #11-14 and Black Phantom (1954 ME) #1. Cover by Dick Ayers. Created by Dick Ayers and Ray Krank, Rex Fury was originally known as the Calico Kid, who together with his white horse Spectre became the Ghost Rider! Wearing a white outfit covered with phosphorus and using a cape that had phosphorescent on one side and black on the other, he could cover parts of his body to give the illusion that he was merely a floating head or pair of hands. To further the illusion, he wielded a black lariat and black bullwhip-even Spectre glowed in the dark! The Ghost Rider battled many foes who, like him, were not truly supernatural at all, such as an imposter of Frankenstein's Monster and the Harpy, werewolves and vampires! The character was the inspiration for Marvel's Phantom Rider, also co-created by Dick Ayers! Hardcover, 184 pages, full color. Cover price $52.99.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "March to November 1953!" Collects (1952-1954) #4-8.

Cover by Don Heck.

Comic Media were a respectable publisher that produced two horror titles, Weird Terror and Horrific, and we've selected a few of these fabulous weird tales of terror issues here in this collection! The odd thing about these titles is that the publisher was convinced that faces sold comics; he insisted that every issue have some sort of a face dominating the cover, and Don Heck, his cover artist, eagerly obliged. Werewolf faces, monster faces, terrified faces -- always faces.

Go get 'em, pronto, because by 1955 Don was recruited by Stan Lee and went on to be one of the architects of what became known as "The Marvel Age of Comics" so you won't be getting any more of those fabulous covers!

Featuring the Work of Don Heck, Don Perlin, A.C. Hollingsworth, Rudy Palais, Keneth Landau, Marty Elkin, and Pete Morisi.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "May 1953 to January 1954!" Collects Mysteries (1953-1955) #1-5.

This one's a wacky entry and no denying, with Canadian publisher Superior Comics coming into the four-color horror ring all gloved up and swinging fit to punch the lights out of anybody who stands in their way. They kicked off with Journey Into Fear, Strange Mysteries (as opposed to pretty straightforward and perhaps even slightly boring mysteries), and the one-word extravaganza that was Mysteries, the latter calling itself variously Mysteries (its legal title) and, on the cover, Mysteries Weird and Strange.

The earlier tales were bizarre and quirky and it's pretty clear that inspiration was in short supply that day. Good stuff though, Clancy, with pens, pencils and plots coming from, among others, Jay Disbrow and the Igor Shop: clear a space on the shelf pronto.

Writer and illustrator Jay E. Disbrow worked as a comic book artist during the 1950s and he is especially remembered for his pre-Code horror comics, and has become (certainly around the PS offices) a cult favorite for his stories filled with demons, ghostly apparitions and other monsters.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "July 1952 to July 1953!" Collects Out of the Shadows (1952-1954) #5-9. Standard Comics did not believe in #1 issues. They were convinced that comics sold better if they appeared to have been around for awhile, and therefore they started all their horror titles with #5. Those titles were The Unseen, Out of the Shadows, and Adventures into Darkness, each lasting about ten issues of fairly well-done E.C. imitations. They also produced a suspense one-shot, Who Is Next? #5, that deserves mention - it features a town terrorized by a serial killer. Hardcover, 180 pages, full color. Cover price $59.99.
