American Comics Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Men’s Adventures #24 & #26
*Horror 1940-1959: Atlas’s Men’s Adventures was a title that covered various genres in its 25 issue run (#4-28, #1-3 being True Adventures). Issues #21-26 were horror-themed issues, similar to the Atlas output of the time in that genre, with great artistic line-ups. Two of these rare horror issues new in this week.
