*Horror 1940-1959: Leading off our Atlas Explosion event, and continuing with our Pre-Code Horror Mega Fest this week, we turn of course to Atlas Horror. When Atlas embraced the Horror genre, they embraced it with a vengeance! 1952 saw the launch of several horror anthologies, including this week’s spotlit series, Adventures Into Weird Worlds! We have twenty of the thirty-issue run (it faltered in 1954, just shy of the advent of the Comics Code Authority) new to our listings, commencing with #2 and ending with the final issue #30. The stellar line-up of artists we’re accustomed to is present – Everett, Heath, Williamson, etc. – but it has to be observed that they excelled in producing a number of gloriously lurid covers for these shock-fests. (A particular favourite being #9…talk about ‘putting your face on’!) This selection runs from low to mid-grade, with some hitting VG or nicer. Depicted are #6 VG- £68, #9 GD/VG £59, #11 VG £73, #12 VG £73, #15 GD/VG £55, #16 FN £110, #28 VG £73 and #29 VG+ £72. This title, entirely Pre-Code, offers a plethora of delights to connoisseurs of the arcane and macabre.
