Title: Recommended horror comics?
Post by: tymime on November 21, 2013, 05:32:03 PM

I've got Eerie Comics already (for obvious reasons). Any others floating around here that would be good?
"Weird stories"-type comics are good too.

The Harvey horror line has some excellent artwork.

You should give Tilliban and his Empire of PRE-CODE HORROR sites a look as well -

It's very informative!

Thanks to Yoc for the link and recommendation.
There is NO company which put out only good stories (EC came closest, not to be found here).
Some books are great, some books are rot. You won't know in advance.
I say give small outfits like COMIC MEDIA or STORY a try.
They are pretty special.
CHARLTON'S "The Thing" is veeery weird - throughout its run!

If you are looking for Golden Age style Horror comics coming out in print I'd recommend Haunted Horror.

Short stories, bad puns, etc. it's all in there. And the issues are rather thick for modern comics standards.

Thanks guys, I'm always interested in what other people besides EC did in horror.
