The shadows stir, the crypt door creaks, and the classics return—ushering in the first volume of Chamber of Chills in an exquisite facsimile slipcase edition from PS Artbooks. For fans of vintage horror, golden-age comics, and macabre masterpieces, this is the essential place to begin.
Inside this beautifully crafted slipcase, you’ll find facsimile reprints of Harvey Comics’ Chamber of Chills issues 21(1) through 24(4) and 5—a chilling sequence that captures the series at its eerie, expressionistic peak. Every panel is presented just as it first appeared on newsstands in the early 1950s: unaltered, unmodernised, and gloriously grotesque.
These stories showcase some of the most memorable horror tales of the era—gruesome morality plays, sinister twists, and strange fates served up with ghoulish glee. The art bursts with expressive line-work and rich, vintage colour, echoing the fears and fascinations of postwar America in their raw, pre-Comics Code form.
But the horror doesn’t stop there. This volume also includes an exclusive bonus comic, Art of Horror, a gallery-style showcase of the original artwork by the dementedly talented artists who brought these nightmarish stories to life. It's a rare glimpse into the creative process behind the terror—a treat for collectors, historians, and fans of classic comic art alike.
Whether you're building your horror shelf or diving into these eerie tales for the first time, Chamber of Chills Volume 1 is a gorgeously preserved edition that invites you to relive the thrills, chills, and twisted delights of vintage horror.
What's Included
The slipcase itself is a collector’s treasure—sturdy, stylish, and drenched in vintage horror atmosphere. Crafted from durable board with a matte finish and vivid full-color wrap, it features carefully reproduced cover art from the original Chamber of Chills run, complete with spine titling and PS Artbooks branding. The design evokes the lurid pulp energy of 1950s horror comics, making it as much a display piece as it is a protective case.
Inside, the individual comics are bound in a high-quality hardcover facsimile edition, nestled securely within the slipcase. Every detail, from the distressed textures to the bold, saturated hues, pays homage to the original printings—ensuring an authentic reading experience for collectors and horror aficionados alike.
