Pre-Code Classics: Out of the Shadows HC (2017 PS Artbooks) comic books

  • Issue #1-1ST
    Pre-Code Classics: Out of the Shadows HC (2017 PS Artbooks) 1-1ST

    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.
