16-month hanging calendar of frame-ready Pre-Code horror comic book covers + commentary

Peek with fearful fascination at this calendar collection of Pre-Code horror comic book covers from the Golden Age of comic publishing. Pre-Code horror comic books, prevalent during the 1940s and early 1950s, delivered macabre and chilling tales filled with supernatural elements, monsters, and psychological suspense, capturing the imaginations of readers before the introduction of stricter censorship regulations. These comics embraced the macabre and pushed the boundaries of graphic storytelling, featuring chilling tales of supernatural beings, monsters, and gruesome scenarios that captivated readers with their suspense and shock value. With their vivid illustrations and twisted narratives, pre-code horror comics left an indelible mark on the genre, setting the stage for future horror comics and influencing popular culture’s fascination with the supernatural and the terrifying. The Asgard Press 2025 Vintage Horror Comics Calendar showcases a different Pre-Code horror comic book cover each month, accompanied by in-depth commentary detailing the artists, publishers, and writers behind each comic. Bonus images of interior comic book panels also appear on each grid page. With its large vertical format of 11×15 inches, our wire-bound wall calendar opens to an impressive 11×30 inches.

Sample Commentary

Tomb of Terror #1; Cover Art: Warren Kremer; Harvey Comics, June 1952.

Many of the artistic and editorial cast of characters from Harvey Comics’  Witches Tales return to bring us Tomb of Terror #1, another Harvey horror offering that was the start of a 16-issue run from 1952 to 1954. Howard Nostrand once again contributed his writing and inking skills, and Warren Kremer created the colorful and expressive cover art. Kremer spent most of his career with Harvey Comics, having been brought on board in 1948 to bring a more life-like quality to their comic panels, and he remained at Harvey until they ceased publication in 1982. His improvements, including better-defined figures and increased depth of field, raised the bar for artists at other publications and gave comics like Tomb of Terror a sophistication that was often at odds with the shocking content within. Pete Morisi of Weird Terror fame also contributed a one-page “Weird Facts” story to Tomb of Terror #1, which presented a series of unbelievable happenings as actual events. Common horror story concepts such as retribution from beyond the grave and the misunderstood monster are liberally employed in this inaugural issue. In “The Dead Awaken,” a drowned woman returns from her watery resting place to retrieve the fiancĂ© who left her there, and in “The Wax Museum,” a man who encases his museum visitors in wax meets the same fate himself when his victims arise from the dead craving justice. “The Thing from the Center of the Earth!” depicts a group of reckless scientists summoning a monstrous being from underground, only to finally kill it when they can’t discern its motives. Pure horror gold!
