Scream Comics

Ace Magazines’ Scream Comics ran for 19 issues from 1944 to 1948, a short-lived but distinctive horror-anthology series of the 1940s. The title is best remembered for its flagship character, the supernatural avenger Magno, and his sidekick Davey, whose adventures blended eerie crime-fighting with the era’s pulp sensibilities. Though it never achieved the longevity of its competitors, Scream Comics stands as a representative artifact of Ace’s early foray into the horror genre, showcasing the raw, atmospheric storytelling that would later define the medium’s darker corners.
