Gwandanaland Comics #2423 - The Most Fearsome Creatures On Earth - 200 Pages Of Vintage B&W Horror
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Vampire ---- the most feared and most reviled (and oddly, most admired) of all the classic monsters! The word itself can strike fear into those who believe in the evil undead, and excitement into those who love to read about them. We have gathered together almost 200 pages of the best vampire stories from the Skywald series --- more than 20 stories of the worst of the worst created by some of the best of the best!
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!
