EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Yoe Books’ latest collection is the shameless spawn of Haunted Horror and Weird Love.
—
There are romance comics and horror comics and then there are romance horror comics (or horror romance comics, if you prefer). On 3/15, Yoe Books and IDW are publishing a collection that celebrates the fevered, sweaty mating of the two genres — Haunted Love, a cacophonous collision of their alternating monthly retrospectives Haunted Horror and Weird Love.
The hardcover, edited by Steve Banes, collects the publisher’s three-issue miniseries that featured a bevy of bodacious, pre-Code abominations from the puerile pens of legends like Carmine Infantino, Ken Bald and the denizens of the Iger Shop.
Normally when previewing these books, we run a short story or an excerpt. This time, I wanted to give you a better sense of the book’s breadth since it features the work of so many writers and artists.
Here, then, are 13 Delightfully Disgusting Splash Pages from HAUNTED LOVE:
