As always, thanks for starting this thread!
Since I bought this hardcover today, I figured I'd better post it. A topic like this has to have a little Mike Mignola!

It's really starting to look like Horror comics were the bricks on which Atlas built its comic factory, in turn which became Marvel so ... Marvel owes a lot of its survival to Scary Comics. I'm not quite ready to move on to more modern horror so here's another blast from the past w/ Atlas' Astonishing. Publ. from 1951 to 1957, w/ 63 issues Astonishing really had some gorgeous covers. -
*you don't see this Blue anymore in comics.

Moppin' up with the visits to the 40's & 50's with Atlas' Menace. 11 issues from 1953-54. As you all have seen, horror & crime comics must have really dominated in the 50's. Looking for titles, I was amazed by just how many I've found & how many more are left for next year.
one of my very favorite horror covers of all time.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Is there a book that contains all these covers?

No. I wish. But there are books which collect a lot of the 50's stuff. In my collection I have the hdbk, slipcase collections of EC's Vault of Horror, Tales From The Crypt, Shock Suspense Stories, Crime Suspense Stories & The Haunt of Fear. IDW has been putting out very reasonably priced, hdbk, themed collections, covering a ton of what I've put up here. So far I have the IDW Deadly Horror, Voodoo v.1, Nightmares, Ghosts & Girls, Devil Tales, Zombies, The Return of Zombies, Haunted Love & Monster Invasion. I also have the Titan, Simon & Kirby Horror Collection & the DC Showcase volumes of Ghosts, The Witching Hour & House of Mystery.
The EC slipcases will now set you back $150-$200. But the IDW volumes are all still relatively new & run from around $18 - $25; well worth it. They're beautiful.
Marvel did put out Horror books in the 60's & 70's but there real claim to horror fame is there FANTASTIC stable of monsters published during the 70's in both color comics & b&w Curtis mags. Zombie Tales, Where Monsters Dwell, Vampire Tales, Monsters Unleashed, Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf By Night, Frankenstein's Monster, Living Mummy, etc ... Most of which are available in b&w as Essentials.
