Editor: Ben Martin

Pages: 36

The last of the series is also the weakest, story-wise. Horrifying elements are reduced to simple murder/revenge tales and the artwork is not quite up to snuff. The editor, Ben Martin, and the scripter, Robert Bernstein, are finally identified, but it doesn't do much to rouse this issue much above the mediocre. WEIRD THRILLERS was never in contention for the scariest, creepiest, bloodiest horror comic of the pre-code 1950's but the use of painted covers in the pulp style, including the Rondo Hatton look-alike photo cover on #1, and more than competent artwork (for the most part) place this title in the realms of the notable.
