*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 the premier issue’s line-up: ‘King of the Living Dead’, ‘Werewolf of Warsham Manor’, ‘The Subway Horror!’, and ‘Monster from the Pit’, which are all reprinted in this very decent copy of #15 with a new cover; tight, flat, bright and glossy with good staples and nice page quality, just minor spine wear and negligible corner blunting. Also in this update, issue #14, the last to feature new material, a nice mid-grade copy with some spine wear, a colour-breaking crease across the bottom right cover corner, but nice cover colour and gloss and structurally sound.
