16-month hanging calendar of frame-ready Pre-Code horror comic book covers + commentary

Peek with fearful fascination at this calendar collection of Pre-Code horror comic book covers from the Golden Age of comic publishing. Pre-Code horror comic books, prevalent during the 1940s and early 1950s, delivered macabre and chilling tales filled with supernatural elements, monsters, and psychological suspense, capturing the imaginations of readers before the introduction of stricter censorship regulations. These comics embraced the macabre and pushed the boundaries of graphic storytelling, featuring chilling tales of supernatural beings, monsters, and gruesome scenarios that captivated readers with their suspense and shock value. With their vivid illustrations and twisted narratives, pre-code horror comics left an indelible mark on the genre, setting the stage for future horror comics and influencing popular culture’s fascination with the supernatural and the terrifying. The Asgard Press 2024 Vintage Horror Comics Calendar showcases a different Pre-Code horror comic book cover each month, accompanied by in-depth commentary each month from pop culture historian Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg in the form of a 12-part essay on Pre-Code comics. Bonus images of interior comic book panels also appear on each grid page.
