American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Strange Terrors #7
*Horror 1940-1959: On the cover of the 7th and final issue of Strange Terrors from 1953, St John proudly proclaimed that this was ‘3 full-length comics in 1’ and ‘all new stories’. Both boasts were true in this 100 page spectacular. There was a high standard of art on offer, with a sensational Joe Kubert cover and lead story. Other artists included the excellent Lou Cameron, Bob Forgione, Bill Baily, Mike Sekowsky and a host of others as yet unidentified. Ghosts, ghouls, monsters, death and other unspeakable horrors await you within this bumper issue.
