Twisted Tales

Pacific Comics’ Twisted Tales (1982–1984) brought a modern, mature edge to horror and fantasy comics across its eight-issue run. Anchored by frequent writer Bruce Jones, the series showcased striking, atmospheric art from talents like Doug Wildey, John Bolton, and John Totleben, often twisting familiar genres into unsettling new shapes. A standout from the early direct-market boom, it helped prove that creator-owned horror could thrive outside the mainstream.
