The Mammoth Book of Horror Comics

This is another of those 500+ page book collections of horror comic stories reprinted in black and white. The stories are mostly from publishers other than Marvel and DC and, in my opinion, many of them have more horror value than the EC stories that I have read.

The book also examines these comics over time and has some historical analysis of the comics of certain years.

My main criticism is not the fault of the book itself, but of a few of the stories chosen, in that the printing of the dialogues is done in a way which makes them difficult to read. There are also a couple of the stories that the artwork is too over-the-top and artsy for my tastes.

It's sort of a mixed bag as far as quality goes.
