       Additional Information  
     
      What were 1950s horror comics like? What were the stories about? And were they as frightening and as subversive as their critics made out? For the first time in book form, Ghastly Terror! addresses and answers all these questions-and more!-tracing their development from the grotesque, psychotic visions of the ultra-primitive 'pre-code' horrors, through to the relatively sophisticated graphic nightmares of Warren and Skywald.
