American Update: A Superior Pre-Code Horror Fest: Mysteries Weird & Strange
*Horror 1940-1959: Superior was a Canadian publisher active from 1945-1956 who mostly reprinted American comics from the same time period. They also published a number of original series that were distributed in the United States. Among these were three horror titles famous for their hallucinogenic covers and accomplished Fiction House style interior art. When you see a lot of these together, they have an almost hypnotic and uncomfortable effect. Our focus this week is on issues #5-8 of one of those titles: Mysteries Weird & Strange; mid-grade fairly nice copies this time, with specific defects listed below.
