Publisher Robert W. Farrell plundered his inventory from his pre-Code Ajax-Farrell line and re-packaged them as a black and white, full-size comic magazine. Some of the stories and art were modified, and the cover and a number of splash pages were redone to make them gorier (now that they were allowed to in that format, courtesy of James Warren). When credited, the stories usually came from the Iger Shop.
The Fass books are a hole in my knowledge for sure. I never bought any that I can remember, as they were way too gory to get past my Mom. And later seemed unsavory. I wish now I had a few examples. Thanks for the look see.
