Horror comics meet Theatre of the Absurd in a new collection from Rondo-nominated Michael Aitch Price -- author and co-artist of the acclaimed "Carnival of Souls" graphic novel. Adapted from a wealth of pre-censorship comics of the 1950s -- but with bizarre twists straight out of the stand-up improv scene -- "The Farkleschweiler Dossier" is a cram-packed 300-page whopper of ghastly mirth and hair-raising hilarity. A companion volume to Mike Price's "Carnival of Souls," "Scream Chills Illustrated," and "MHP's Great Big Crock of Christmas" -- all Comics from the Gone World!

From the studio responsible for the celebrated "Forgotten Horrors" series of movie books -- a new collection of original and rebooted classic-horror comics.

Forbidden Horrors: Comics from the Gone World

Cremo Studios presents its first full-color anthology in the "Comics from the Gone World" series -- 150 pages of ghastly mirth and jolly mayhem assembled and adapted from any number of the Jerry Iger Comic-Book Sweatshop's pre-Code 1950s yarns. The tale of the Severed-Head Nose-Biter! The Grinning-Idiot Strangler-at-Large and Getting Larger! The Homicidal Sub-Midgetoid! And others too humorous to mention...

Gigantic Curse of Iger Annual: Comics from the Gone World

The COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series cranks into high gear with HORROR COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD (aren't they all?) -- 150 whopping pages of pre-Code 1950s chillers, adapted and re-written for a heightened Sense of Absurdity. Many entries from the legendary Jerry Iger comic-book sweatshop; a few from times more recent, including Mike Price &amp; Todd Camp's rarely seen PLANET OF THE DEAD. Just the ticket for devotees of ghastly mirth and hair-raising hilarity.

Horror Comics from the Gone World

Michael Aitch Price's "Comics from the Gone World" series takes a detour into the haunted Southern... uh, Southland with this anthology of original slapstick chillers, true-crime misadventures, and retooled pre-Comics Code Shock Yockers, all loaded with enough bizarre absurdities and ghastly puns to fill a dozen such volulumes. Twice the size of the original "Souther-Fried" volumes of 1998-1999, and packed with dazzling art by RUNAWAY COMIC's Mark Martin, FISHHEAD's Mark Evan Walker, DR. FEELGOOD's Frank Stack, and CARNIVAL OF SOULS' Todd Camp -- among others too humorous to mention.

Southern-Fried Homicide: Comics from the Gone World!

From the creator of COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD -- a heaping slab of Christmas comics spanning two centuries, or parts thereof which! Walt Kelly before POGO -- Frank King before GASOLINE ALLEY -- and a complete restoration of the long-lost newspaper strip BOBBY'S CHRISTMAS DREAM. To name a few of the delights arrayed in this 200-page whopper of a Yuletide funnybook!

Michael Aitch Price's Great Big Christmas Goose! (Comics from the Gone World)

The COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series lurches on with DEAD UNBURIED -- Michael Aitch Price's uproarious compilation of 1950s horror comics, preserved and vandalized with the most absurd imposed dialogue this side of WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY? or WAITING FOR GODOT, whichever comes first. Great White Hunter Frank Buck turns zombie master to "bring 'em back alive." A grammatically obsessed vampire punishes bad spellers. Crooked undertakers get their comeuppance to the frenzied cry of "Yerkus mazerkus!" And disembodied wraiths cavort throughout 150 pages of ghastly mirth and horrid hilarity. The GONE WORLD of pre-censorship comic books reasserts itself with an absurd vengeance.

Dead Unburied (Comics from the Gone World)

The COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series lurches onward through the fog with a fresh-picked selection of Stale Tales from Somebody Else's Crypt -- retooled for Maximum Absurdity and Ghastardly Humorous Effect. The source is the fabled Jerry Iger Comics Sweatshop of the 1950s: Some of the very pages that brought down the wrath of the censors upon the comic-book racket in the form of the stultifying Comics Code Authority. The Iger Shop, however, might not recognize its own offspring, which now emerge as a Study in Hideous Mirth and Hilarious Menace. Say what? If you have to ask, then you'll never know... Plus: More than 40 of Michael H. Price's painted reconstructions of cover images from the horror comics and beyond, and a chapter devoted to the awkward self-censorship of the Iger Shop stories in a vain attempt to appease the Comics Code.

Censor Bait Comics (Comics from the Gone World)

Price, Michael H.

Playwright Jerome McDonough and cartoonist Michael H. (alias Aitch) Price developed LEX EICON & THE NUMEROLOGIST in 1973 in emulation of the Absurdist fables of Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey. This slender volume has reappeared in editions of 1996 and 2009, but the present book restores the authentic text and original artwork from the files of McDonough, who became better known as a prolific writer of provocative one-act pieces for high-school students; his JUVIE was the most-often produced short play of 1986. Price is the author of the long-running FORGOTTEN HORRORS series of film encyclopedias.

The Comics from the Gone World project forges ahead with JOURNEY INTO WEIRD MYSTERIES OF STRANGE FEAR, a title derived from such nonsensical classics of the pre-Code 1950s as JOURNEY INTO FEAR, STRANGE MYSTERIES, and (just to be redundant) MYSTERIES WEIRD & STRANGE. A whopping 168 pages of intermingled (or intermangled) horror and humor, with a wealth of non-sequiturs, dream-state incoherence, and more Knock-Knock Jokes than you can stake a Schick at...
