    THE EVIL - It was an obscene evil that could not be quenched with blood or sated with the flesh of its defiled victims.THE TERROR - It wormed its way into the human brain, devouring the mind, controlling the body and turning its prey into savage creatures lusting for destruction.THE METAMORPHOSIS - Its only outward sign was the grotesque metamorphosis of its victim's hand into a gnarled, four-fingered claw -- a claw whose razor-sharp nails dealt death with the precision of a stiletto.THE SEARCH - It was unconquerable in its mindless violence, supreme in its viciousness, and as elusive as a foul wind.Only reporters Dorothy Hunter and James Radley even guessed at its existence. They had to find it before it grew stronger...before it grew hungrier...before it found them.

    It appeared mysteriously, at night, and destroyed the town with amazing swiftness. Houses were flattened, the bodies of men, women, and children were crushed and mangled, hundreds were missing, vanished without a trace. No one knew what had happened or why. Years later, the sole survivor of the holocaust, Tom Bartlett, began to suffer blinding visions -- visions of a huge creature unparallelled in size, intelligence, and evil. He was frightened, but something was calling him back to the ruins of his boyhood home. He was the only man alive who had even guessed at the creature's existence, and he knew he must find it before it struck again. What he didn't know was that while he was searching for the beast, it was searching for him ...

It could mean new life for burn victims, people scarred by accidents, old folk yearning to be young again, models who insist on being more beautiful...But the miracles it promises its first human test subjects rely on one all-important -- and totally unpredictable -- element: their desire to become beautiful. And if beauty results from beautiful thoughts -- what unnatural horrors must await those consumed by evil?

    From the Golden Age of the 1940s, through the Silver Age of the '60s, up until the early '80s--the end of the Bronze Age. Included are the earliest series, like American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown and Prize Comics' Frankenstein, and the controversial and gory comics of the '40s, such as EC's infamous and influential Tales from the Crypt. The resurgence of monster-horror titles during the '60s is explored, along with the return of horror anthologies like Dell Comics' Ghost Stories and Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House. The explosion of horror titles following the relaxation of the comics code in the '70s is fully documented with chapters on Marvel's prodigious output--The Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night and others--DC's anthologies--Witching Hour and Ghosts--and titles such as Swamp Thing, as well as the notable contributions of firms like Gold Key and Atlas. This book examines how horror comics exploited everyday terrors, and often reflected societal attitudes toward women and people who were different.
