Hardcover. Condition: New. Edward Miller; Ken Bald; Frank Frazetta; Al Williamson; Paul Reinman; Emil Gershwin; Mel Kiefer; Edward Moritz (illustrator). 1st Edition. Out Of The Night, Volume one, July 1951 to April 1952. At eleven years old I discovered these fab comics. A short time later the Puritans arose in America, and their strictures were echoed over here too, and they delivered a death verdict for these extraordinary comics. I'm delighted to see these works so carefully reproduced in these books by PS Publishing. I commend them to all who share my distrust of the moralisers who ban and censor on our behalf. Treat yourself to THE WAY OF THE WEREWOLF; squirm as you dare to turn the pages of LAIR OF THE VAMPIRE. Plus lots of other creepy crawly STUFF! It's all here. All you need is the COURAGE to look and wonder. And if only I had hidden all my comics from dad I would have cleaned up. Seller Inventory # ABE-1551111843415
