About the series
The Keyhole, a six-issue series from Youthful that began in 1952, offers a curious peek into the early days of crime and horror comics. With no single creator dominating its brief run, it stands as a modest but representative artifact of the pre-Comics Code era, when publishers freely mixed lurid tales of suspense and violence. Its significance lies in its snapshot of a transitional moment in comics history, just before industry self-censorship reshaped the medium.
