LOU CAMERON WAS A GROUNDBREAKING ART MASTER in the 1950s Pre-Code comics era. With his innovative experimental layouts and frequent use of surrealism, his horror comics have been described as “Jim Steranko meets Graham Ingels.”

Zombies, vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, and devils from terror-filled stories like “Realm of Lost Faces,” “The Maze Master,” “Twelve Hours To Doom,” “Code of The Shadowmaster,” and “Five Lives of Otto Marlin” will make you scream with delight! Edited by Tillmann Courth, with an Introduction by Steven Thompson, and a Foreword by Craig Yoe.
