rdfs:comment
  • Horror comics emerged as a distinct comic book genre after World War II. At this time young adult males lost interest in caped crime fighters. Also, returning GIs demanded titillating sex and violence in their reading. One-shot Eerie Comics (1947) is generally considered the first true horror comic. Its cover depicted a dagger-wielding, red eyed Ghoul who threatened a rope-bound, scantily clad, voluptuous young woman, beneath a full moon. In 1948, Adventures Into the Unknown became the first regularly published horror title. It enjoyed a nearly two decade life-span. Fiction House had a regular horror series with Werewolf Hunter starting in 1943 that appeared in its comic Rangers Comics.
