In issue #11 The Purple Claw encounters a creepy old man that turns into a huge "Death Flower" at night that lives in the Florida swamps and feasts on human flesh. Issue #12 tempts us with another terrible secret this time of "The Pit." And finally #15 asks where did if come from - what was it that caused the strange happenings-what was "The Unknown Presence?"

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "1945, May-September 1955, and September 1957!" Collects Front Page Comic Book (1945), Prize Mystery (1955) #1-3, and Man in Black (1957 Harvey) #1. Featuring Stories by Ben Brown, David, Gantz, Ed Smalle, Iger Shop, and Steve Ditko. More horror and suspense for Classic Horror Comics Volume 8! Starting with this little gem-Front Page Comic Book is a Pre-Code anthology from Harvey that contains the origin and first appearance of the Man in Black. This was the only issue of the series. Prize Mystery added a cash incentive for the lucky 1950s reader if they could solve a two-page mystery involving murder. Ironically, solutions to the prize mysteries were to be announced in the issue #4... but, alas it never happened. Man in Black, the faceless occult avenger, tells strange stories, sometimes intervening in person, other times merely letting ironic fate unfold. Reproduced completely from cover to cover as they should be, just like the original comic! Softcover, 184 pages, full color. Cover price $32.99.
