ABOVE ARE IMAGES FROM SCREAM!, A SERIES OF 1980'S HORROR COMICS MY BOYFRIEND BOUGHT AS A KID. I'M A BIG FAN OF CLASSIC EC HORROR SO WAS EXCITED TO HAVE A READ OF THESE WHEN HE FOUND THEM OVER CHRISTMAS. WITH SOME LOVELY VINTAGE HORROR-STYLE COVER ART AND EQUALLY LOVELY ILLUSTRATIONS INSIDE, THE COMIC FEATURES A NUMBER OF GRUESOME, SERIALISED STORIES LINKED BY A CREEPY, HOODED, TALES FROM THE CRYPT-STYLE NARRATOR/EDITOR. UNFORTUNATELY THE SERIES ONLY RAN FOR 15 ISSUES BEFORE BEING CANCELLED (DUE IN PART, ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, MARY WHITEHOUSE'S 'VIDEO NASTIES' CAMPAIGN IN THE EARLY 80'S), SO I THINK THEY ARE HARD TO FIND BUT I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND A READ IF YOU DO!
