The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[adamstrange]

I have a soft spot for Superiors as well. Tough in high grade aren't they? I used to have most of the run in rough shape and never minded - just loved those crazy stories!

I run across them from time to time, though they won't necessarily look like it from a scan. In the example below there are a number of minor printing flaws that look like creases and bends (e.g. UR corner, near top staple) but are actually the result of poor quality control of the inks/press. Superior (in the 50s) gets my vote as having the worst production system of any comic publisher; they're even worse than Charlton.

I like this cover. That guy sure doesn't look like he's enjoying farm life though.

NOBODY is worse than Charlton.

Charlton had several decades of sucky printing so they are total suckage output winners but Superior had higher intensity suckage for the few years of their 50s printings.

Recycled litho plates, apparently.

I wanted to get some input from GA Horror fans, what are some of you favorite STORIES and from which book?
