I've never owned a pre-code DC horror comic. From the several dozen I've read, the stories are reasonably OK, but there is no gore. DC really didn't do horror as such, and their crime books were pretty tame, so they barely changed their content when the code came in. Ironic considering their Bronze Age horror output, which was far more graphic... Larryw7 and PopKulture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'll second what Andy just said. DC's pre-code "horror" books (HOM #1-35, Phantom Stranger #1-6, Sensation / Sensation Mystery #107-116, Star Spangled Comics #122-130) would more accurately be described as fantasy/occult/supernatural issues. Smart stuff, if you enjoy a good ghost story, but definitely not graphic. Their pre-code crime and pre-code war stuff was also PG-rated. Good stuff, but with a distinctly different flavor from many of the other publishers (like Atlas and Farrell). Larryw7 and sacentaur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed their Sci-Fi output from the 50's, but it was obvious that they were reaching for a different demographic than some of the "Headier" publishers of the day.

Popular Post The-Collector Posted November 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2019 It has taken a really long time looking for me to find one of these. Really low census (9 universal) even compared to the surrounding issues (Weird 1 has 28 universal, Weird 3 17 and Weird 4 16) and one of Lou fine's best IMO. Love it!

Popular Post atomised Posted November 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2019 fresh in from CGC. Was stoked to get the 3.0 as the seller listed it as Fair condition on the Bay when I picked it up in raw state. One of my top 5 favorite covers of the era.
