*Horror 1940-1959: Our star item from the Bute Collection this week is Artful’s Horrific #2 from 1952, with its famous demon puppeteers cover and atmospheric Iger shop horror content. A very presentable copy, with vivid yellow and red cover background colours and decent gloss. Wear is minor (1 cm upper spine split, short tear at right edge, minimal edge and spine wear at very edges). Staples are tight at spine and centrefold, corners only slightly blunted, pages are supple, off-white and good quality. Horrific (later published by Comic Media) is one of the most notorious pre-code horror titles. High resolution images are available on request.
