"Fantagraphics' very first volume in its Atlas Comics Library, Adventures Into Terror, includes a treasure trove of stories drawn by many of the most stylistically accomplished artists of the Golden Age including Russ Heath, Gene Colan, George Tuska, Carl Burgos, Don Rico, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Maneely, Basil Wolverton, and Joe Sinnott. Highlights include Russ Heath's two-part story "The Brain" and "Return of the Brain"; Basil Wolverton's classic "Where Monsters Dwell"; Gene Colan's moodily rendered "House of Horror"; and Don Rico's wild layouts on display in "The Torture Room." The stories are written firmly in the tradition of the pulpy, perverse, borderline deranged style of the pre-Code horror comics that brought Fredric Wertham, the United States Senate Sub-Committee, and public opinion on comics down like a sledgehammer in the early '50s. Published as facsimile editions in full color and with an introduction by series editor Michael J. Vassallo."-- Back cover.
