Description
The explosion of Horror titles following the relaxation of the comics code in the 70s is fully documented with chapters on Marvel's prodigious output - The Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night and others - DC's anthologies - Witching Hour, Ghosts - and titles such as Swamp Thing, as well as the notable contributions of firms like Gold Key and Atlas. This book examines how horror comics exploited everyday terrors, and often reflected societal attitudes toward women and people who are different.
