Atlas Comics library. Volume 1, Adventures into terror
2023

Graphic Novel

Our first volume Adventures Into Terror includes a treasure trove of stories drawn by many of the most stylistically accomplished artists of the Golden Age including Russ Heath, Gene Colan, George Tuska, Carl Burgos, Don Rico, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Maneely, Basil Wolverton, and Joe Sinnott. Highlights include Russ Heath's two-part story "The Brain" from issue #4 and "Return of the Brain" from issue #6; Basil Wolverton classic "Where Monsters Dwell" from issue #7; Gene Colan renders the moody "House of Horror" in issue #3; Don Rico's wild layouts are on display from #4's "The Torture Room"; and Allen Bellman puts his young daughter into the last panel of #4's "Vampire Brats." The stories are written firmly in the tradition of the pulpy, perverse, borderline deranged style that brought Fredric Wertham, the United States Senate Sub-Committee, and public opinion down on like a sledgehammer on comics in the early '50s.
