Sex and Horror: Volume 4

At the peak of the craze, leading publishers were releasing a new, 100-page comic every few days, with artists having to draw 150 to 200 pages a month. The comics were hugely successful, due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolour cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters. Here is a further collection of those notorious covers — a visual feast of outrageous pulp art. This volume includes covers from such popular titles as Jacula, Oltretomba and Vampirissimo.
