Great art and scary stories combined to make a win-win collections of stories that were guaranteed to send shivers up your spin.
Richard Corben contributed a scary cover as well as the Infected interior art. Alfredo Alcala got a little Out Of His Depth and Brett Blevins takes A Walk In The Woods.
Artist Tim Conrad and writer Bruce Jones discovered that sometimes Halloween really is about scary things in All Hallows.
I’ve had the good fortune to read a few of the old EC Comics Horror titles and Twisted Tales was a worthy heir to the anthology series.
Twisted Tales only lasted a few issues under the Pacific Comics banner, much like its sister publication Alien Worlds.
Both titles would pass on to other publishers but only for a short period.
It’s a pity that anthology series have disappeared off the newsstands. Horror, Science Fiction, Crime and other genres are few and far between.
But, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Smaller publishers have taken up the challenge and published comic book series of the non-superhero type.
With any luck as more and more of such issues see print the comic book industry will open up to endless possibilities.
Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV) “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
