Pre-Code Classics: Tales of Horror

PS Artbooks' Pre-Code Classics: Tales of Horror (2018–present) collects three issues of the grim 1950s horror comic originally published by Toby Press, showcasing the pre-Code era's unflinching gore and moral ambiguity. Elliot Caplin's scripts, paired with the moody art of Ben Brown and Myron Fass, deliver a compact, unsettling slice of vintage terror. This series matters for preserving the raw, unexpurgated edge of a genre that would soon be tamed by the Comics Code Authority.
