Adventures Into the Unknown was an American comic-book magazines
series best known as the medium's first ongoing horror-comics
title. Published by the American Comics Group, initially under the
imprint B&I Publishing, it ran 174 issues (cover-dated Fall
1948 - Aug. 1967). The first two issues, which included art by Fred
Guardineer and others, featured horror stories of ghosts,
werewolves, haunted houses, killer puppets and other supernatural
beings and locales. The premiere included a seven-page, abridged
adaptation of Horace Walpole's seminal gothic novel The Castle of
Otranto, by an unknown writer and artist Al Ulmer. Unlike many
American horror comics of the Golden Age, it weathered the public
criticism of the early 1950s and survived the aftermath of the
Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency hearings of April and
June 1954 when the comics industry attempted self-regulation with a
highly restrictive Comics Code.This book contains the very scarce
Issues #1 and #2.
