American Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest from ACG: Adventures Into The Unknown and Forbidden Worlds
*Horror 1940-1959: With Adventures Into The Unknown, the publisher ACG produced the first ongoing horror comic from 1948, followed by Forbidden Worlds in 1951. Whilst not exactly overlooked, these titles are perhaps not as infamous as some of the output of later publishers, although its tales of vampires, werewolves, zombies, mummies and other monsters are every bit as gruesome as some of their famous competitors, and the art standards are more than competent. Three nice mid-grade examples for your consideration this week:
