(A) Bill Molno & Various Toby Press was a small but respectable comics publisher, which also used the imprint Minoan; they put out one issue of Tales of Terror, then got hit by a cease-and-desist order from E.C., which used that title for their annuals (don't worry we'll bring you that particular issue later on). 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. Collects Tales of Horror #6-10 (Aug. 1953 - Apr. 1954).

(A) Clarence Doore & Various The western genre was exploding across television, Saturday morning serials, and movies in the 1950's. A trend was seized by comic publisher Ziff Davis who introduced the first three adventures of The Hawk, aka 'Bob Hardie,' Fighting Marshall of the American West in the winter of '51.

(W) Will Eisner (A) Will Eisner, Lou Fine (CA) Will Eisner The Spirit is a fictional masked crime fighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner, who fights crime with the blessing of the city's police commissioner Dolan, an old friend. Despite the Spirit's origin as detective/criminologist Denny Colt, his real identity was rarely referred to after his first appearance, and for all intents and purposes he was simply "The Spirit." The stories are presented in a wide variety of styles, from straight forward crime drama and noir to lighthearted adventure, from mystery and horror to comedy and love stories, often with hybrid elements that twisted genre and reader expectations. Comic book stories from the 1940s and 1950s may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American culture. While not representing the publisher's view of today's society, these stories are printed as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Collects The Spirit #9-12 (Summer 1947 - Summer 1948).
