  • More about Horror Comic Never Dies: A Grisly History

Horror comics faced opposition but survived and flourished, with creators' stories and the broader impact on the comics industry included.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 151 pages
Publication date: 30 January 2019
Publisher: McFarland & Co Inc


Horror comics were among the first comic books published, and they quickly gained a devoted young readership. However, they also developed a bad reputation, leading to a crusade by parent groups, psychologists, and the United States government to wipe out the horror comics industry. Despite this, 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, including Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko. Their stories and the stories of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.
