Horror comics were among the first comic books published--ghastly
tales that soon developed an avid young audience, along with a bad
reputation. Parent groups, psychologists, even the U.S. Government
joined in a crusade to wipe out the horror comics industry--and
they almost succeeded. Yet the genre survived and flourished, from
the 1950s to today. This history covers the tribulations endured by
horror comics creators and the broader impact on the comics
industry. The genre's ultimate success helped launch the careers of
many of the biggest names in comics. Their stories and the stories
of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.
