Edgar Allan Poe

Few figures from literature have haunted the comic book page quite like Edgar Allan Poe, who made his comics debut all the way back in 1937's King Comics #15 — a Platinum Age appearance brought to life by the legendary creative team of Don Moore and Alex Raymond. Spanning an extraordinary 83 years of publication history, this version of the master of the macabre has found a particularly beloved home at AHOY Comics, anchoring titles like Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Terror and Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood with dark, delicious energy. He keeps genuinely rarefied company on these pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Sherlock Holmes, William Shakespeare, Merlin, and Hercules — a rogues' gallery of immortal icons that speaks to the grand, gothic ambition of the comics that feature him. Whether you know him from the Classics Illustrated tradition or AHOY's gloriously irreverent modern anthologies, this is a character whose comics legacy is as rich and strange as the tales that made his name immortal.
