Launched by Golden Age veteran Sol Brodsky and I.W. Publishing's pirate reprinter Israel Waldman, Skywald (using parts of each last name) was going to be the next force in comics! The long list of established professionals suiggested that this would be the case:  Writers T. Casey Brennan,  Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart,  Gardner Fox, Doug Moench, Dave Sim, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman, and artists Rich Buckler, Gene Day Vince Colletta, Bill Everett, Bruce Jones, Pablo Marcos, Syd Shores, Chic Stone, and Tom Sutton (plus a little work from newcomer John Byrne). The line centered on horror, with NIGHTMARE, PSYCHO and SCREAM headlining. The stories were top-notch and the artwork unparalleled, and for five years Skywald offered masters of the genre. Alas, this small company could not compete with the power of major distributors of Marvel and DC, being pushed off the newsstands, until in 1975 the last Skywald issue was published. Skywald produced incredible stories, but they were negligent in one very important task – they failed to copyright their horror mags. So, for the first time in Gwandanaland ComicsTM history, we're able to bring you some great books from the 1970s! Look for the individual issues, economical four-issue collections, and even some bigger than that! When Al Hewetson became editor of the Skywald horror books, he immediately turned to his influences and horror-mentors, H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Alan Poe. Poe, especially, dominated the Skywald books, as this fantastic collection of stories originally written by America's first mystery & horror writer will attest! Two dozen features collected together for the first time, only by Gwandanaland Comics!
