Cover by Joseph Szokoli. Stories and art by Joseph Szokoli, Vince Napoli, Bill Fraccio and Harry Harrison. Violent pre-Code horror comics from Youthful Magazines. This issue was mentioned in the text (p. 388) of the anti-comics classic Seduction of the Innocent. Grave-robber Harry gets a comeuppance when the dead rise from their graves. An artist for "Beware" comics feels that he's run out of monster ideas, until he meets his son's strange new playmate, in a story that name-drops several other Youthful Mag horror artists. In postwar Germany, American agents investigate a killer stalking a small town, and learn the ancient castle nearby hides a very modern horror. The Body Snatcher; My Daddy Should Have Listened; The Death Waltz; The Pied Piper of Ziess-Baden; Don't Dance With Me When I'm Dead. Final issue under this publisher; Trojan Magazines continues the title and numbering with Beware (1953 Trojan/Merit) #1 (aka #13), while Youthful continues it as Chilling Tales (1952) #13. 36 pages, Full Color.

Stories and art by Henry Kiefer, Al Tyler, John Belfi, and Myron Fass. Pre-Code horror comic from Trojan Magazines really gets into gear with this issue. In fact, this issue was used for an illustration in the anti-comics classic Seduction of the Innocent (illo #12, with caption, "Children are first shocked and then desensitized by all this brutality."). A mad scientist builds a robot and programs it to think, then is surprised when it attacks him with a yen for taking over the world. In one of the more original "poetic justice" horror stories, a man murdered in a paper pulper returns from the grave to avenge his murder through paper products. Hugo seeks revenge on those who have slighted him. Plus a grisly article about real-life decapitations and what happens after. The Thing from Beyond; Almost Human; The Paper Ghost; Life After Death?; The Phantom of the Moor. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
