*Horror 1940-1959: There were two Pre-Code Horror series that bore the name ‘Beware’; it’s the first from Youthful in 1952 that concerns us here. Truth be told, this first series ran to only three issues (#10-12), previously being named Fantastic and from #13 on, changing its name to Chilling Tales. Beware #12, from the Bute Collection, has four accomplished tales of horror beneath a striking man- fights-off-monster grabbing-chick cover. Body snatchers, evil children, monsters, rats and zombies all await you within. A vivid yellow background with strong colours on this vibrant, unmarked cover. Minor corner blunting, but very little wear – just a miniscule corner off cover bottom right. One small tear with no loss right edge of cover (about 1.5 cm) with similar on one internal page. Pictured below. As is evident in the scans, the comic is slightly mis-cut (not trimmed) and not quite square; this is fairly common in comics of this age from some companies.  High resolution images are available on request.
