{"product_id":"web-of-mystery-volume-1","title":"WEB OF MYSTERY Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere comes the first volume of Ace Comics' horror title, one that I personally like quite a bit. Artist \u003cstrong\u003eLou Cameron\u003c\/strong\u003e is here and \u003cstrong\u003eMike Sekowsky\u003c\/strong\u003e, strongly influenced by Alex Toth, my favorite period for him. Stories include \"The Vampire's Weird Duel,\" \"Valley of the Mayan Goddess,\" \"The Menace That Stalked Brooding Cunliffe,\" \"Rendevous with the Phantom Gypsies,\" and \"Stalked by a Nameless Dread.\" Artist \u003cstrong\u003eJack Katz\u003c\/strong\u003e puts in an appearance in \"Vengeance of the Undead,\" and there's a great femme fatale tale, \"The Lorelei of Loon Lake,\" \"Ghost Ship of the Caribbean,\" and \"The Case of the Beckoning Mummy.\"\n\nArtist \u003cstrong\u003eLou Cameron\u003c\/strong\u003e is an unsung name from this time; his \u003cem\u003eTime Machine\u003c\/em\u003e for Classics Illustrated is his best known work, but early on, 1950-56, he was doing superior and imaginative artwork sometimes as good as Frazetta or Williamson for Ace's horror titles, this one and also \u003cem\u003eThe Beyond\u003c\/em\u003e. And here's \u003cstrong\u003eMike Sekowsky\u003c\/strong\u003e, between his career beginning at Timely in the late 1940s, and ending up at DC Comics for decades, drawing dozens of their best-known heroes. He was the first artist on the Justice League.\n\nFrom the publisher: \"Come put your little clawed and emaciated hand in ours -- we'll look after you. Ignore the darkness and the cemetery mist creeping through the Graveyard Gates, and ignore the fact that the flesh seems to have slipped from your face. No matter, for this is comic books the way they were and should always be.\"\n\nThe hardcover edition of this came out in 2018, went on sale through us in 2020-21 and is no longer in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641373655326,"sku":"PCW01","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/pcw01-web-of-mystery-vol-1-softee-book.jpg?v=1784503714","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/web-of-mystery-volume-1","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
