PRE CODE CLASSICS OUT OF SHADOWS SLIPCASE ED (2025)

"Writers' and Artists' Names: Artists include George Roussos, Alex Toth, Jerry Grandenetti, George Tuska, Art Saaf, Ruben Moreira, Rocco Mastroserio, Ross Andru and Jack Katz Synopsis: STANDARD COMICS - VOL 1: ISSUES 5 - 9 July 1952 to July 1953 Special Notes: Standard Comics did not believe in #1 issues. 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. Those titles were The Unseen, Out of the Shadows, and Adventures into Darkness, each lasting about ten issues of fairly well-done E.C. imitations. They also produced a suspense one-shot, Who Is Next? #5, that deserves mention -- it features a town terrorized by a serial killer."
