Fantagraphics continues its definitive restoration of Atlas’ pre-Code horror with a collection that dives headfirst into the wild, uncensored terror of the early 1950s. Adventures Into Weird Worlds showcases the era’s most daring creators at their most unrestrained, delivering macabre tales of irradiated monsters, cosmic doom, demonic bargains, and grave-robbing confessions.

Witness “The Walking Death,” a postapocalyptic nightmare of mutated horror; hear the frantic cries of “The Thing in the Bottle”; face intergalactic annihilation in “When a World Goes Mad”; descend into “The Pit of Horror” as envisioned by Bill Everett; and crawl through the shadows with cemetery thieves and damned souls. This volume is the first of three that will re-present the complete run of this classic Atlas horror series.

Featuring full-color restorations and work by Russ Heath, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely, Carmine Infantino, Mort Meskin, George Tuska, Bob Fujitani, Joe Sinnott, and Bernard Krigstein.

Humanity faces intergalactic doomsday “When a World Goes Mad!” A cemetery robber tells how “I Crawl Through Graves”! Satan himself unveils “The Pit of Horror,” as only Bill Everett could envision it! This is the first of three volumes that will re-present this classic Atlas horror series in its entirety. Adventures don’t get any weirder! Full-color illustrations throughout
