*Horror 1940-1959: Here’s a mini-fest to keep you going until we have a more substantial number of vintage horror through our doors. If EC was the acknowledged winner in the vintage horror ‘beauty pageant’, then Harvey and Atlas were the acknowledged Runner-Up and Miss Congeniality, with top-notch artists and stories reminiscent of the famous EC twist-ending tales – in fact, in Harvey’s case, sometimes a little too reminiscent, as they were prone to a tiny bit of plagiarism! But with artists of the quality of Lee Elias, Howard Nostrand, and Bob Powell, not too many readers were complaining, if they even noticed! We have a nice selection of lurid Pre-Code Harvey’s in mid-grade – new issues of Chamber of Chills, and Witches’ Tales – and some of the Post-Code Atlas, where writers were forced to tax their ingenuity and came up with ever more intriguing stories, in the pages of Journey Into Unknown Worlds, Strange Stories of Suspense, and Uncanny Tales.
