*Horror 1940-1959: Beware Pre-Code Buyers Beware! There are actually two series bearing this title. From 1952, the first series only consisted of 3 issues (#10-12) published by Youthful in 1952 (previously Fantastic, subsequently Chilling Tales). The second series, published by Trojan/Merit in 1953 lasted for 14 issues, and continued the numbering from the first, before renumbering at #5 after the first four issues. Thus there are two Beware #11s. This is the first from 1952 published by Youthful and features a gruesomely lurid cover with rats by Ed Goldfarb; his and other artwork inside including Harry Harrison. Suitable horrific content. A solid copy with vibrant cover where the colours pop. Tight firm staples and white to off-white pages. Small amount off margin on one page, not affecting story. Slight mis-cut does not appear to impact on the issue. Corner blunting but only minimal amounts of edge and corner wear on this good-looking copy.
