A comprehensive history of a small, but important, comic book publisher, this work reflects the reading tastes of tens of millions of Americans during the Golden and Silver ages of comics (1934-1970). The earlier Sangor Shop reinvented itself as the American Comics Group and by 1967 had published over one thousand issues. ACG was a microcosm of the larger industry, publishing magazines in every major comic book genre. Best known titles include Herbie and Forbidden Worlds. It was ACG's Adventures into the Unknown that sparked a new genre―horror―which led to the Comics Code Authority, and industry-wide self censorship.

Somewhere on the rocky coast of Maine there exists the small, quiet town of LIGHT'S END. Built along a metaphysical fault line between the universal forces of good and evil, it has been the setting for countless episodes of mind-numbing horror and depravity. Horror master Michael Vance chronicles a baker's dozen of terror-inducing tales that will leave you shivering in the night. These razor-sharp gems are fiendishly illustrated by artist Earl Geier. Welcome to classic pulp horror at its most gruesome, courtesy of Airship 27 Productions.

Weird Horror Tales: The Feasting

THE SNAKE STRIKES!In the last few years of World War II, a group of brave Germans who opposed Hitler and his Third Reich orchestrated an underground movement that worked from within to defeat the Nazis. These brave men and women were constantly at risk being hunted by the ruthless Gestapo. Their fate, if captured, was agonizing torture and death. Still they struggled on.Six years later, in the back alleys of New York’s Bowery district, a mysterious masked avenger calling herself the Snake appears. She recruits denizens of the street to be her agents and begins a ruthless campaign against organized crime. Who is she and what is her connection to the events in Berlin prior to the collapse of the Third Reich?Based on a six-page synopsis by legendary comics writer, Richard Hughes, author Michael Vance has woven a thrilling, fast-paced adventure that will keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats from start to finish. You’ve never met a character like the Snake. She’s sexy. She maybe crazy. But she is most of all, deadly!

"A thrill ride across space and time." R.A. Jones The Thief of Two Worlds, introduces us to Caleb and Veyda McGreggor, a brother and sister who join their father and an alien from Alpha Centauri to capture an intergalactic, power mad thief. This unusual pairing of humans and aliens team up to time-jump into earth’s past to help track and capture the renegade who has stolen the greatest treasure of the planet Tugz, "The Egg"! On their Angkor Wat adventure they cross paths with -- a rogue elephant, a ruthless "bird god", Kai the Tiger Killer, and...Albert Einstein!! They meet every challenge with intelligence, faith, courage, and metallic crabs called Twydddle! The Thief of Two Worlds! connects with readers in their everyday life as they discover how twelve year old Caleb learns science cannot solve every problem, and his ten year old Christian sister, Veyda, gains understanding in how overcome fear with faith. Educator Nancy Carlson writes: Vance has skillfully crafted a Christian science fiction tale. Young people will be captivated by this story that begins with an alien enlisting the help of scientist-inventor Jon McGreggor to travel to 12th century Cambodia. There's just one problem---his children are stowaways which adds an unexpected ingredient to the mission. I highly recommend this book which grapples with faith and fear along the way.
