About the Art
This striking January 1953 cover from Farrell Publications epitomizes the macabre allure of pre-Code horror comics. Illustrated with eerie precision, it features a ghastly tableau of skeletons clawing their way out of a monstrous green skull, illuminated by a flickering candle—a chilling symbol of mortality. The bold, jagged typography of "Haunted Thrills" against the blood-red backdrop amplifies the sense of dread, reflecting the era's fascination with grotesque imagery and supernatural terror.
Published during a time when horror comics thrived despite increasing censorship pressures, this issue showcases stories like Fatal Scalpel and Hands of Terror, cementing its legacy in the genre’s golden age.
