There are many of those old ('70s) Weird/Horror/Voodoo mags with spiders crawling on women, but I seem to recall I saw one with a vampire(?) actually dumping spiders out of a bucket onto a woman. I can't seem to locate it though, which makes me think my teenage self was full of ___.

Here's an example of the type of mag I'm talking about.

I think what fascinates me most about these mags is the numbering system. Did you know there are some books with the exact same title and issue number, but they're completely different books? It's almost as if the folks at Eerie Publications couldn't keep track either...   hm

That's some messed up stuff right there... 

This genre really has me wondering how many future serial killers got pushed over the line by reading them?

I'd like to think that this is just harmless fun for young adults... hm 

I'd like to also, but some of the imagery in these of dismembering and what not, I'm no forensic psychiatrist, but if you're almost there I wonder if stuff like this just puts you over the top to make you want to really do it. For the rest of us it is "ewwww, this comic is crazy!"

Nice try, Ghost of Fredric Wertham, but we're onto you!

Maybe not many, but also maybe at least one?? Not the genre in question, but still an interesting read: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/zodiac-and-the-tim-holt-30-death-wheel-connection-up-for-auction/

Why do you think they call it 'dope?'

I own a lot of these, not because I am a serial killer, or a latent one, but because the covers are so insane, I'm not for banning anything, I just wonder, was this porn for some 14 year old Dahmer type coming of age then. With that said, if you have it in you to do these things I suppose it is going to happen anyway.

Volume 1 issue 1, volume 2 issue 1, etc... each year was a new volume. Look on the first page of the comic, it will tell you. This has gone out of vogue, but there were other comics and magazines that did this in olden times.
