American Update: A Superior Pre-Code Horror Fest: Journey Into Fear
*Horror 1940-1959: Superior was a Canadian publisher active from 1945-1956 who mostly reprinted American comics from the same time period. They also published a number of original series that were distributed in the United States. Among these were three horror titles famous for their hallucinogenic covers and accomplished Fiction House style interior art. When you see a lot of these together, they have an almost hypnotic and uncomfortable effect. We’ve been releasing a lot of these three titles over the last few months, and this week we reach the end of them (for the time being) with our final issues of Journey Into Fear. All four issues in this update are pictured below, together with any specific defects. #21 is the final issue of the series.
