Description

For the first time ever, PS Artbooks presents Science Fiction Odyssey #1 from Skywald. Skywald's famous, never actually printed, magazine would have been the first adult SF comic since EC's Incredible Science Fiction , but the publishers, Sol Brodsky ("Sky") and Israel Waldman ("Wald") belief that SF just didn't sell and budgetary constraints, alas meant the magazine was withdrawn, although only after film had been made and just before delivery to the printers! The editor Al Hewetson managed to re-use all of the first issue's stories in the company's range of horror magazines, which is how we managed to piece together our original Science Fiction Odyssey . We've made some alterations and assumptions, but hopefully we've got the finished result fairly close to how it would have appeared over fifty years ago!

Description

, Bob Fujitani, Joe Kubert It was January 1947 that the first real, indisputable horror comic came along- Eerie Comics #1, published by Avon. It had a striking cover that was, well... eerie, depicting a strange-looking man with a knife on the steps of some sort of ruin, approaching a bound woman, a theme that was to be repeated countless times in the future... Whet your appetite for these horrors inside including "The Eyes of the Tiger," by Bob Fujitani, featuring a pet tiger who gets his first taste for blood; no surprises there then? "Dead Man's Tale," by Jon Small gives us the story of a bottle that gave Myron Morgan wealth and how he died when it was destroyed. "The Man-Eating Lizards," Joe Kubert-when a plane goes down in the ocean, the surviving crew members find themselves on an island of giant, man-eating lizards. "The Strange Case of Henpecked Harry," by Fred Kida, tells how Harry Horton plots the death of his wife, only to be driven mad by guilt.

Description

, Alex A. Blum, Matt Baker, Jack Kamen, John Forte, Joseph Doolin The Tiger Girl, created by Robert Webb, was also known as Princess Vishnu. She was brought from India to Africa by her father Rajah Vishnu, after the death of her Irish mother. She was an excellent leader and pretty good in a fight, especially when she used her whip and her tiger ring, which gave her added strength when she looked at it and was accompanied by her companions: Benzali, a tiger, and Abdola, an Indian man. She protected her lost civilization from outsiders and others who meant harm. She became one of Fiction House's longest-lived characters; her stories continued to be published for over a decade until the company ceased operations in 1954. Collects the Tiger Girl stories from Fight Comics #53-68 (December 1947-May 1950).
