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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 224 x 26 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781476675367                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096594116858,"sku":"9781476675367","price":28.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/6e2e577393b5956df7b747282673b159.jpg?v=1627007344","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/horror-comic-never-dies-a-grisly-history","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
