Yoc:
Glad to share it DL.  I didn't type much though as it came from a quote from the book mentioned.
I did add some titles (with stars) that weren't included in the original.

What the list does show is what an amazing job DCM scanners have done finding a very large percentage of them.

And sure, it's hard to beat a good EC for art and story but seeing the others you can see the lengths they went for shock value and once in a while even find a not bad story mixed in too.

Take care,

I think there is some really good stuff scattered among the other pre-code horror publishers that, at times, is the equal of EC in both story and art.  It's just that EC had consistently top-notch art while it was a bit hit and miss with the other publishers.

(Hated to do it, but I removed Tim's post.  Tim, while I have no objection to linking to a torrent of public domain material, you were pointing people towards a large number of properties owned by Marvel.)

Yoc:
Thanks John, I missed that.
Tim, for the safety of the site we can't allow non-PD links to be shared here.  I hope you aren't upset by it, I'm sure it was a big job to collect them all.

Yoc:
Here is a link to an excellent blog.
This entry is on the history of horror comics -

A fun read with lots of covers members here might recognize from the site.
