COMPLETE WEB OF HORROR HC (C: 0-1-2)
StockID: 153031 SKU: APR251422
The legendary- creator-controlled horror magazine from 1969 collected at last! In 1969- a feisty new comics magazine emerged to rival the popular horror magazines Creepy and Eerie: Web of Horror. Conceived by a plucky- independent publisher- Web of Horror showcased instant classics of horror and science fiction by such rising stars of comic art as Bernie Wrightson- Michael Kaluta- Bruce Jones- Ralph Reese- Frank Brunner- Roger Brand- and Wayne Howard- as well as seasoned veterans such as Syd Shores and Norman Nodel- illustrating stories written by Otto Binder- Nicola Cuti- and others. Now- over 50 years later- Fantagraphics presents the complete Web of Horror in one expertly edited and designed volume. In addition to all three published issues- this collection includes over a dozen stories intended for subsequent issues that have been rarely or never-before published- several long thought to be lost and recently unearthed. Among these 'lost' stories is Wrightson's 'The Monster Jar-' lovingly restored by Frederic Manzano. The Complete Web of Horror also features a wealth of historical and contextual essays- including the Foreword by original Web of Horror editor and science fiction novelist Terry Bisson; an account of the magazine's origin by the late Clark Dimond; the history of the magazine's rise and baffling demise by collection editor Dana Marie Andra; reminiscences by fanzine publishers Robert Lewis and Robert Gerson; and an Afterword by Richard J. Arndt.
