From the early days of the publishing industry - like Dell, Gold Key, and Charlton Comics Group - to the indie boom of the 1990s (Adventure Comics, Epic, Innovation) - and ending on the modern-day comic giants (Dynamite Entertainment, Boom!, IDW Publishing). The guide spotlights iconic films and franchises such as Nosferatu, Frankenstein, Night of the Living Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Army of Darkness, Hatchet, and more! Halftone Horrors includes a visual guide to all the issues, variants, one-shots, ashcans, and more - an exhaustive tome to the history of cinematic comic adaptations. The most comprehensive guide ever published on the subject.
