NEW 'FEAR IN FOUR COLORS' INSTALLMENT


Just published is my fifth in the series, "Fear in Four Colors: The Hideous History of American Horror Comics." This installment is the first part of "The Great Horror Comics Purge" that details the events leading up to the Senate Committee Hearings that ended with the gut-punch called the Comics Code Authority.

Many believe that it was this singular event that caused the implosion of the comic book industry, especially the crime and horror titles. In reality, comics books suffered a long history of persecution by religious and civic groups and other individuals and organizations almost as soon as they started being published.

Read all about it along with a heaping serving of really well-written horror and supernatural fiction in this 145-page issue of NIGHTMARE ABBEY published by Tom English's Dead Letter Press.

NIGHTMARE ABBEY #8 is available for immediate ordering at Amazon HERE.

If you have an aversion to Amazon, Bud's Art Books also carries it. It hasn't shown up on his site yet, but it most undoubtedly will soon. Check on availability HERE.
