It is almost a magical phrase in the comics world: “Pre-Code Horror.” Before the dreaded Senate investigation and Comics Code Authority, the creativity of horror writers and illustrators was free of the shackles of censorship. Some of the best work came from the smaller publishers, like Story Comics. The 25 issue series ended just as the CCA was digging its nails into the flesh of horror freedom – not likely a coincidence (one of its issues was even used as “evidence” of the dangers of comics). MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURES contains great stories, excellent illustrations, some of the best use of color in horror/mystery comics, and pushed the envelope for propriety and so-called good taste. Gwandanaland Comics brings you the first complete (and best quality) collection of this classic series --- don't miss a single chilling page! QUALITY NOTE: Issue #21 is not well-scanned and may disappoint some readers We are working to find better scans of this rare and expensive comic issue. If you have this, contact us for great ewards!
