They were convinced that comics sold better if they appeared to have been around for awhile, and therefore they started all their horror titles with #5.

(A) Don Rico & Various Daredevil is a fictional superhero created by Jack Binder. As a child, Bart Hill was witness to his parents' brutal murder. The murderer also branded Bart with a hot iron, leaving a boomerang-shaped scar on the left side of his chest. This traumatic experience left the boy mute.

He then donned a costume and took to the streets as the vigilante crime-fighter known as Daredevil. However... for Bart Hill/Daredevil's second appearance showed him able to speak and it was later revealed that his parents were killed while in Australia, with Bart then raised by a tribe of aborigines who taught him the art of using boomerangs. As an adult, he returned to the U.S. and fought crime as Daredevil.

(A) Maurice Whitman & Various This often unfairly forgotten series, surely boasted some of the most magnificent covers of any of the EC wannabes, despite the artists being a anything but 'household names.' One of these forgotten masters is Maurice Whitman, plus you get EC's very own Jack Kamen regularly popping up. Wonderful stuff. This was material that suggested unpleasantness rather than just stepped forward and pulled the old schlock-it-up-lever. Heartily recommended for the more discerning horror comics reader.

Toby dropped that and started over with Tales of Horror, which ran for 13 issues. Toby may be the only comics publisher to swipe the urbane and cynical stories of John Collier, rather than relying on Poe, Lovecraft, and the like.

(A) John Celardo & Various It was the 1950's - the Atomic Age, the Cold War, and just the before the Space Race. Comics books were the education, the entertainment, and, according to some, the downfall of America. What a great time! We loved to be scared - still do, it seems - from the comfort of our own home, secure in the knowledge that there's no real danger (or so we think). Nothing could match the imagination, the surprise, and the chilling-of-your-spine like the great horror comics of yesteryear. Collects The Unseen #5-10 (June 1952 to May 1953).

Just shows you how far medical science has come in the almost seventy intervening years. They're all good, these books we're bringing out (bringing out? Heck, we're unleashing 'em!) but this one may well be the gerkin on the burger. Presented in our popular 'Softee' format for the very first time!
