*Horror 1940-1959: Avon Publications was an enthusiastic embracer of the Horror genre, witnessed by the fact that while most of their comic book output was one-offs, they committed to a proper ongoing series with Eerie, commencing with the debut issue dated May-June 1951. Having tested the waters with a one-shot in 1947, the company returned with a new series of lurid and horrifying tales, epitomised by this premier issue’s line-up: ‘King of the Living Dead’, ‘Werewolf of Warsham Manor’, ‘The Subway Horror!’, and ‘Monster from the Pit’, kicking off a 17-issue run highly prized today. This is a VG+ copy, minor edge wear, slight colour erosion at the top edge, but firm staple (it only ever had one central staple), flexible off-white interiors, bright colours and sharp corners. High resolution images are available on request.
