Torrid

A moody, black-and-white horror anthology from Gold Star Publications, Torrid (1979–1986) ran for 16 issues of macabre storytelling. Most frequently crafted by the duo of Erich Von Götha and Robin Ray, the series delivered grim, atmospheric tales that leaned into the decade's independent-comics fascination with the grotesque and the supernatural. Its shadow-drenched pages and unsettling narratives made it a cult touchstone for fans of pre-Code-inspired, creator-driven horror.
