More pre-code comics from PS Publishing

British publisher PS Publishing have produced many hardback collections of various pre-code American horror comics, and here are two new books to add to your collections. 

Pre-Code Classics: Adventures Into Darkness

The covers alone in this baby are worth the price of admission . . . Alex Toth, Jerry Grandenetti plus, for fans of DC’s MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, Ruben Moreira— comics just don’t come no better than this, folks.
                 
Standard Comics did not believe in #1 issues. They were convinced that comics sold better if they appeared to have been around for a while, and therefore they started all their horror titles with #5, each lasting about ten issues of fairly well-done E.C. imitations.

About 'Adventures Into Darkness'

Artists include George Roussos, Alex Toth, Art Saaf, Ruben Moreira, John Celardo, Jack Katz, George Tuska, Ralph Mayo and Charles Sultan.

This first volume features the Standard Comics issues of Adventures Into Darkness, Issues 5-9 August 1952 – April 1953.
Now available for pre-order!
