classic exploding head coverI think that date went rather well, don't you? Let's just bask in the glory of this legendary splattergore masterpiece for a sec. It might just be the ultimate pre-code horror cover printed outside of the EC line, as it perfectly encapsulates what the whole horror craze was about. One look at this and you're either completely appalled and disgusted or you're pumped and stoked. In either case, it lugs you right back to a time when these gleefully, unapologetically over the top weirdies littered newsstands. The lurid colors, the aggressive composition, and the ridiculously unrealistic anatomy add up to gory, grisly joy. The virulent parental response to this issue and others like it, and later governmental investigation into comic publishing, led to most copies finding themselves pulped, burned, or torn to shreds, making this book a rare bird in any condition. Undoubtedly among the top ten all time horror comic covers, and certainly one of the toughest finds around.
