Hey, all you horror comics lovers! The fourth installment of my series has just been published in Dead Letter Press' NIGHTMARE ABBEY #7. Edited by Tom English it includes some top-notch fiction by Steve Rasnic Tem, Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, Steven Volk and many others within its 146 pages. Also included is an article on Hammer Films' THE DEVIL RIDES OUT by John Llewellyn Probert. Allen Koszowski provides the cover and some super interior art.

In "Fear in Four Colors: The Hideous History of Horror Comics in America, The Ghoulunatics" I cover the greatest horror comics of them all, the legendary EC titles. I delve behind the scenes on the ideas and development of these still-popular tomes. Included are a ton of covers and illos.

NEW ARTICLE PUBLISHED!

Just released a few days ago is Tom English's NIGHTMARE ABBEY #6. Each issue contains well over a hundred pages of some of the best horror fiction being written today. Included is the third installment of my ongoing series, "Fear In Four Colors: The Hideous History of American Horror Comics". This time in "A Flood of Blood and Corpses" I delve deep into titles other than the EC line that contributed greatly to the heyday of horror comics and contained some of the most horrifying and revolting stories of the era. Besides fiction by Steve Rasnic Tem, Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, Simon Bestwick and others, there's also an article on NIGHT/CURSE OF THE DEMON. Allen Koszowski's excellent art is on the cover and throughout the interior.

PRE-CODE HORROR COMICS ART

Lee Elias is known for illustrating some of the most shocking pre-code horror comics covers ever, most notably the "exploding face" cover of TOMB OF TERROR #15. Other over-the-top covers appeared on the covers of BLACK CAT and CHAMBER OF CHILLS. Elias also contributed stories in a multitude of comics for Fiction House, Hillman, Marvel, DC and even a few for Warren.

Shown here today is a story that he did for Harvey's WITCHES TALES #8 (March 1952). While not as gruesome as some of his covers, it still packs a punch. The original art is followed by the issue that was published. Don't forget to check out the wild story, "Demon Flies." Oh, and Elias did the bondage cover for this, too.
