Craig Yoe tryller videre i sin serie af The Chilling Archives of Horror for IDW, og nu er vi fremme til fjerde bind i denne bloddryppende perlerække af pre-code skræk og rædsel. Jack Cole står for løjerne, når IDW smider fjerde bind på gaden i juni 2013, og det er bestemt ikke for sarte sjæle. Jack Cole er først og fremmest kendt for Plastic Man, men han kunne også det dér med det kolde gys, ja, faktisk var han én af de serietegnere, som Dr. Wertham i særlig grad advarede folk imod at læse. Så har man nerverne i behold efter de tre første bind med Dick Briefer’s Frankestein, Bob Powell, og Zombies, er det bare med at gå ombord i noget af det mest hæslige og afskyelige, der blev udgivet indenfor horror comics i USA dengang. Vi har tidligere set på Cole’s Spirit klon Midnight her i bloggen, og ligeså hans blændende golden age forsider, og nu er turen så kommet til hans horror comics, fra Everett “Busy” Arnold’s Quality Comics. Gå ikke glip af denne pantheon tegner’s skræk serier, et kærkomment supplement til Silver Streak og Plastic Man genoptrykkene. Cole er både i Kirby og Eisner Halls of Fame, og dét er fuldt fortjent!

Jack Cole is widely acclaimed for his brilliant work on his creation, the superhero Plastic Man. But he didn’t just stretch people’s imaginations, he also frightened them out of their wits! Cole’s comics in this genre were some of the most grisly, horrifying, gut-wrenching art and stories in the history of comics! In Jack Cole’s Deadly Horror you’ll read comic stories from the 1950s with titles like “Orgy of Death,” “Hangman’s Horror,” “The Corpse That Wouldn’t Die,” “The Killer From Saturn,” “Goddess of Murder,” “Monster of the Mist,” “Dance of Death,” “The Man Who Died Twice,” “The Strangling Hands,” “Death Prowls The Streets,” “Killer From Beyond,” “A Pact With The Devil,” and many more spine-tingling tales. Introduced by Eisner Award winner and comics historian Craig Yoe with rare art and background material, this large format, full-color book is part of the acclaimed Chilling Archives of Horror Comics, which includes Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein, Bob Powell’s Terror, and Zombies! WARNING: Anti-comics crusader Dr. Fredric Wertham singled out Jack Cole art as especially harmful to impressionable minds!
Jack Cole’s Deadly Horror is not recommended for the faint of heart!
