Book Description
In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.

Book Description
This title contains all three volumes of the Fallen Gods Saga in one bundle. It also includes an exclusive Fallen Gods Trilogy cover. Fallen Gods: Sanctuary 12 FOLLOW HER VOICE Nine strangers, linked by the inner whisperings of a mysterious little girl. Each must piece together the origins of their other-worldly abilities and the location of the white manor, where they will be reunited, and the questions that have plagued their existence will finally be answered. But someone else marks their every step. The sinister Mr Cradleworth has other plans for them, plans that could bring about catastrophic consequences, not just for Earth, but the whole universe. This epic tale covers half the globe, as it follows each character into the darkest recesses of their soul. Combining eighties-style horror with science fiction, this dark fantasy will take you on a journey you will never forget. Fallen Gods: Infanticide FACE YOUR FEARS An ominous burning cloud covers the skies across the entire world. Scientists speculate on its origins and its purpose. Panic starts to spread like a disease as people prepare for the worst. Within the relative security of the manor’s walls, the first-born begin to come to terms with their true identity, all except Jerrico, who soon discovers that Cradleworth has enslaved his home town of Walton. Meanwhile, Kaleb convinces Celeste to allow him to take on an important but dangerous mission, one which could reveal Cradleworth’s end game. In this fast-paced sequel to Sanctuary 12, the fallen gods must go head to head with their evil nemesis in a battle to prevent ultimate destruction. The Fallen Gods Saga combines classic horror, sci fi and urban fantasy. The idea spawned from the author’s love of 70’s and 80’s horror. Like all good horror of that era, it deals with themes such as unrequited love, loneliness, transcendence, death, rebirth and transformation. Fallen Gods: Mind Over Matterless THE FINAL WAR BEGINS Divided and leaderless, the first-born must fight through the ruined landscape of the Urker invasion to reunite, enlisting human allies along the way. Meanwhile, Charles Cradleworth searches for his home and his identity under a cloud of amnesia. New loyalties are forged and armies are assembled on both sides for the final confrontation. In this dramatic conclusion to the Fallen Gods Saga, the first-born must triumph or become part of Cradleworth’s sadistic collection of souls.

Book Description
Focusing especially on American comic books and graphic novels from the 1930s to the present, this massive four-volume work provides a colorful yet authoritative source on the entire history of the comics medium. Comics and graphic novels have recently become big business, serving as the inspiration for blockbuster Hollywood movies such as the Iron Man series of films and the hit television drama The Walking Dead. But comics have been popular throughout the 20th century despite the significant effects of the restrictions of the Comics Code in place from the 1950s through 1970s, which prohibited the depiction of zombies and use of the word "horror," among many other rules. Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas provides students and general readers a one-stop resource for researching topics, genres, works, and artists of comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels. The comprehensive and broad coverage of this set is organized chronologically by volume. Volume 1 covers 1960 and earlier; Volume 2 covers 1960–1980; Volume 3 covers 1980–1995; and Volume 4 covers 1995 to the present. The chronological divisions give readers a sense of the evolution of comics within the larger contexts of American culture and history. The alphabetically arranged entries in each volume address topics such as comics publishing, characters, imprints, genres, themes, titles, artists, writers, and more. While special attention is paid to American comics, the entries also include coverage of British, Japanese, and European comics that have influenced illustrated storytelling of the United States or are of special interest to American readers.
