*Horror 1940-1959: In 1956, probably as a reaction to the demise of so many of their titles that didn’t survive long after the imposition of the Comics Code, Atlas, who before too much longer would morph into Marvel, launched three ‘sister’ titles called World Of Fantasy, World Of Mystery and World Of Suspense. These contained mystery stories with a dark edge of similar quality to Atlas’s pre-code material in this vein, but obviously without the excesses. The art was by many of the finest craftsman available to them at the time. Selections from all three titles are available as follows:
