Chamber of Chills - Issue 13 - Facsimile Edition

Chamber of Chills #13 (cover-dated October 1952) plunges readers back into the uncanny and macabre with a diverse slate of pre-Comics Code terror across its 36 pages. The striking cover by Al Avison captures the eerie spirit of this Golden Age anthology, which opens with Bob Powell and Howard Nostrand’s chilling “Man in the Hood,” followed by Abe Simon’s creeping dread in “The Lost Race.” Other unsettling tales include Howard Nostrand’s unsettling “The Man Germ” (with script by Nat Barnett), Moe Marcus’s creeping horror in “The Things,” and atmospheric text pieces like “Kiss of Horror!” and “Clutching Fingers” — all woven together with the tense pacing and shadowed visuals that defined early 1950s horror comics.
 
This facsimile edition from PS Artbooks faithfully reproduces every panel, original colour, and layout as seen in the 1952 newsstand original, preserving the textured artistry and creeping dread of the era for modern collectors and horror devotees. Perfect for anyone drawn to vintage horror’s grim allure, this edition offers an authentic window into a bygone age of comic book terror — where the uncanny was everyday life and the unknown waited just beyond the page gutter.
