abstract:Horror comics are comic books, graphic novels, black-and-white comics magazines, and manga focusing on horror fiction. Horror comic books reached a peak in the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, when concern over content and the imposition of the self-censorship Comics Code Authority contributed to the demise of many titles and the toning down of others.
These include discussion of the potential objections from church Sunday schools to plans to show television programmes between 3pm and 4pm on a Sunday and talk of a demand for legislation to control the growing trade in horrorcomics.
That's what made money for the big pulp-comics companies: superhero stuff, mostly, but sometimes horror or romance or science fiction or crime comics, each of which has its own familiar codes and formulas.
The company also publishes a series of more traditional comics, from Vincent Priced-themed horror stories to a series based on the life of one-time Batman Adam West.
