Greetings, creep culturists! For my debut issue, I, the Cryptologist (with the help of From the Tomb editor Peter Normanton), have exhumed the worst Horror Comics excesses of the 1950s, Killer "B" movies to die for, and the creepiest, kookiest toys that crossed your boney little fingers as a child! But wait... do you dare enter the House of Usher , or choose sides in the skirmish between the Addams Family and The Munsters ?! Can you stand to gaze at Warren magazine frontispieces by this issue's cover artist Bernie Wrightson, or spend some Hammer Time with that studio's most frightening films? And if Atlas pre-code covers or terrifying science-fiction are more than you can take, stay away! All this, and more, is lurching toward you in TwoMorrows Publishing's latest, and most decrepit, magazine - just for retro horror fans, and featuring my henchmen Will Murray, Mark Voger, Barry Forshaw, Tim Leese, Pete von Sholly, and Steve and Michael Kronenberg!
