One thing that I wish Skywald had done with their horror magazines, which Warren was doing as were the folks at almost every other horror comic & magazine were too .... was create a "Horror-Host" for each mag. They're so much fun &, imo, so integral for mood setting & walking the line between horror & humor. On occasion, in Skywald books, you'd see a gliimer of a host, a Vampire Boy or some sort of ghoul ... but it wouldn't carry & would disappear within a page. Alas, no horror hosts.

The only other, out of the 3 Skywald Horror magazines to go more than 20 issues was their Nightmare. Nightmare was their first mag. with issue 1 hitting the racks in Dec, 1970. The 1st issue had an almost goofy cover, showing a motorcyclist trying to out run a pollution demon; the full story contained inside. In hindsite, a not-to-compelling debut ... we'd have to wait for #2 for the 70's horror hell to be unleashed.

Nightmare #1-

I love the ancient aliens reference.



You have to wonder Wombat, how close in painting this Boris cover came to Frazetta's -

Moving on with the fabulous Nightmare covers. I also want to point out that most, if not all the Skywald horror covers were directly related to an inside story. This was not always the case with the other 2 big American horror mag. publishers.

Nightmare #5 (another recurring theme in monster mags was on of the unsuspecting diver happening upon a huge seamonster. I'll post more of these towards the end of the thread)
