Here we have the gruesome of the initial years, the one that was born after Purgatory in which the horror comic was bogged down after the attacks of the moralistic censors of the 50 Archie GoodwinThe author who transformed the charger into indisputable reference of the genre still has an exceptional weight. However, it is inevitable to note the absence of other big names such as those of Alex Toth or Bernie Wrightsoncommon in previous volumes. Impressively the absence of these authors is highlighted in the quality of the stories, which suffer from a small recession compared to the first years of publication continue to maintain the same spirit and offer readers authentic jewels in the form of small horror pills of a handful of pages.
Although the volume overshadowed nostalgia and classic spirit, the stories continue to have a surprising advantage. There are no foolish morals or happy ending by decree. There are creatures that are not what they seem, scientists who play to be and end up paying it expensive and monsters of different natures that make you rethink who is the real villain. It is that type of terror that not only tries to frighten you, but it also leaves you a bitter aftertaste, an irrewance that accompanies you when the book ends. Of course, some stories may seem predictable if the reads with the eyes of those who have seen a thousand modern horror films, but there is the makeup: what is a cliché today, so it has been pure innovation. And the pleasure is also in the atmosphere, in those too activated dialogues of the villain’s bad but fascinating and in the ironic and cruel endings that characterize the disturbing uncle so much.
We must also mention that these comics were an experimentation field for many artists. What they tested here would end up influencing superhero comics, science fiction or even cinema. In this volume, the adaptation of Wall rats From HP Lovecraft Of Bob Jenneythe interesting approach that Barry Rockwell y Bill relative case Jack the stripper or Ruby colorwork in which Goodwin’s good teammates with his colleague Steve Ditko With a touch of very seventy nihilism that makes it irresistible.

This volume is already in another phase of the magazine: here the horrors are more sophisticated and even more unbalanced, with androids, astronauts, exhausted soldiers and other elements that were not used to be seen in the first issues. The spectrum of the characters is wider and the plots drink both science fiction and pure horror. The stories begin to play even more with moral ambiguity and you can see an approach with a certain postmodern tone typical of the publication time.
The artistic team of this volume is dreaming directly: Richard Corbenwith his creatures of meat and shadow, Carmine Infantinoletting his elegant stroke be tamed, Luis Bermejo, Larry Hama, Esteban Maroto, Alfredo Alcalá, Len Wine, Bruce Jones or Alex Niño among other things. A real eye party. And the best thing is that each author prints their style, which makes each story a surprise with a turning point in the tone or in terms of narration.
As for the previous volume, the original material is respected. Not only the stories, but also those delicious letters of readers and the extras that allow the reader to look at how terror lived in those times. Those and -mail, sometimes naive, sometimes passionate, are small jewels that remind us that disturbing was not only a publication, but also built a secret club for macabre lovers. A good example of the renewed tone of this volume is found with Blood brothersThe story of Bruce Jones e José Ortiz in which the horror and madness of the war are truly represented.
