PS Artbooks Launches Kickstarter for Chamber of Chills The Art of Horror

PS Artbooks is proud to announce the launch of its first Kickstarter campaign, Chamber of Chills The Art of Horror, a unique 420 page hardcover volume dedicated to the original artwork behind one of the most iconic horror comic titles of the Golden Age.

For decades, collectors have admired the shocking covers, atmospheric storytelling, and unforgettable imagery that made Harvey Comics' Chamber of Chills a cornerstone of pre-code horror. Now, for the first time, readers can explore the artwork itself in extraordinary detail.

Unlike a traditional comic collection, Chamber of Chills The Art of Horror presents complete stories from original production material before colour and final print production. Every page offers a fascinating glimpse into the creation of these classic horror tales, revealing the original line work, production markings, paste-ups, editorial notes, and artistic details that were often hidden in the finished comics.

The book spans 420 pages and features work from some of the most celebrated artists of the era, including Bob Powell, Howard Nostrand, Rudy Palais, Al Avison, Lee Elias, and more. Together, these artists helped define the visual identity of Golden Age horror comics through dramatic storytelling, haunting imagery, and masterful black and white artwork.

Produced as a premium collector’s edition, the volume is presented as a deluxe hardcover with gold foil detailing and a collector’s dust jacket. For those looking for an even more luxurious edition, the Kickstarter campaign also offers an exclusive slipcase version alongside a range of collectible extras.

Available rewards include:

• The 420 page hardcover edition

• An exclusive collector’s slipcase

• A set of four A5 postcards featuring classic Chamber of Chills cover artwork

• An A3 poster reproducing original draft artwork from Chamber of Chills Issue #19

• Collector bundles combining all available rewards

The project represents another step in PS Artbooks' ongoing mission to preserve and celebrate comic book history. While many collections focus on finished publications, Chamber of Chills The Art of Horror offers something different: a rare opportunity to experience the artwork at the heart of the creative process.

For fans of pre-code horror, comic art, and publishing history, this is an opportunity to explore one of the most influential horror titles ever produced from an entirely new perspective.

The Kickstarter campaign is now live and supporters can choose from a range of reward tiers, from collectible postcards and posters to the complete collector’s edition featuring the book, slipcase, and exclusive extras.

If you have ever wondered what lurked behind the printed page, this is your chance to step inside the Chamber.

Support the campaign today and help bring this remarkable archive of Golden Age horror artwork to life.
