Forbidden Worlds Archives Volume 3

by Richard E. Hughes, Philip R. Simon (Editor), Ken Bald (Illustrations)

Chased by a wax sculpture of Adolf Hitler, cursed by a snake goddess, and forced to marry an oozing swamp monster -- life has never been easy for the residents of Forbidden Worlds! Issues #9 through #14 of this wonderfully bizarre 1950s anthology of sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural horror are collected in a deluxe hardcover, which features a new foreword from Timothy Truman (King Conan, Hawken) and contributions from Golden Age creators King Ward, Harry Lazarus, Charlie Sultan, Jon Blummer, and others. When a skeleton is driving your subway car, you know you're on your way to Forbidden Worlds!

[Bart Hill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun collection of 6 pre-code issues of Forbidden Worlds (1952--53) published by ACG. Sure, there were other mystery/horror titles out there, but I doubt you'll find such a collection of off-beat, strange fantasies as these elsewhere.
