File Name: Horror/Sci Fi Title Checklist
Version: 4.20
Compiled by Chris M. Cavers
I've been trying to track down horror/sci fi comic books.
If you know of any titles that are mainly horror or sci fi related, please
send them to me by email. If the books are only a part of a title's
run (e.g. Adventure comics numbers aaa-bbb contain sci fi stories),
please include that information.
Also, some titles are published and then canceled more than one time, so
an approximate year (or cover price) of publication would be nice.
Generic superhero stuff (E.g. x-men, avengers, spiderman) does not really
apply. There are exceptions, for example Strange Adventures #238 (20cent
cover price) has 2 sci fi stories and 1 Adam Strange story (so it would
count as a sci fi book).
Lastly, since not too many horror/sci fi comics were published by
Marvel/DC since 1980, it would help greatly if someone could email me
titles done by independents.
Feel free to email me about any titles that are not sci fi/horror
and are in this list.

I need titles for the following:
William Shatner's Tek Adaptation
The adaptation of Brian Lumley's
novel _Necroscope_. It was put into comic form this past year.
Offhand, I don't remember who the publisher was, but it was a
five issue run. They are going to be adapting his other books
as well (from what I have read.)
Regarding your question about the Necroscope adaptation. The first
series ran five issues, and was published by Malibu. The first issue
of the second adaptation, Wamphyri, was released last week.

There have been dozens and dozens of people that sent information to add

"Tales From the Darkside" episode
Books of Blood short stories adapted into comics:
1. Tapping the Vein (five issues so far, two stories per book -- see below)
2. Son of Celluloid
3. Revelations
4. Dread
5. The Life of Death
Includes the short story "New Murders in the Rue Morgue."
Following are which "Books of Blood" short stories are contained in
each "Tapping the Vein" book:
Story Title: Art by:
Vol 1 "Human Remains" -- P. Craig Russell
"Pig Blood Blues" -- Scott Hampton
Vol 2 "Skins of the Fathers" -- Klaus Janson
"In the Hills, the Cities" -- John Bolton
Vol 3 "Midnight Meat Train" -- Denys Cowan & Michael Davis

Also, not part of the Tapping the Vein volumes, but single story adaptations
of other Books of Blood stories of the same format:
"The Yattering and Jack"-- John Bolton
"Son of Celluloid" -- Les Edwards
"Revelations" -- Lionel Talaro
"Dread" -- Dan Brereton
"The Life of Death" -- Stewart Stanyard
"New Murders in the
Rue Morgue" -- Hector Gomez
Unless the artist also adapted the story, the stories are adapted by Chuck
Wagner, Fred Burke, or Steve Niles. The stories are so faithful to the
originals that the writers seem to have changed little or nothing.
All books published by Eclipse. All are prestige format. Very high quality.
(For completeness' sake, the Books of Blood, vols. 1 - 6, are the short
story collections titled "Books of Blood, vol 1 - 3," "The Inhuman Condition,"
"In The Flesh," and "Cabal.")
SECTION 4: Ec reprints:
There have been several different series that reprint the EC books of the
1950's. As far as I know of, they use the same titles as do the
EC books from the 1950's. The 32 page ones reprint one issue of
an EC book and the 64 page issues reprint 2 different EC books.
The information as to which books are reprinted is usually on the
inside of the front cover. There are also oversize EC reprint books
(about the same size as a Marvel Treasury Edition). I think those books
reprint 2 issues of EC books. There also are hardbound
collections of the EC books for all of the different EC titles (advertisements
for those collections are in the 64 page EC reprints).
The reprints are complete and reprint all of the origional 1950's books.
EC Titles related to horror/sci fi:
Crypt of Terror (EC 1950 17-19) formerly Crime Patrol,becomes Tales from the
Crypt
Haunt of Fear (EC 1950 15-28) formerly Gunfighter
Incredible Science Fiction (EC 1955 30-33) formerly Weird Science-Fantasy
Tales From the Crypt (EC 1950 20-46) formerly Crypt of Terror
Vault of Horror (EC 1950 12-40) formerly War Against Crime
Weird Fantasy (EC 1950 13-22) formerly A Moon, A Girl, Romance - becomes
Weird Science-Fantasy
Weird Science (EC 1950 12-22) formerly Saddle Romances - becomes Weird
Weird Science-Fantasy (EC 1953 23-29) formerly Weird Science and Weird Fantasy
SECTION 5: Kill Image
Very funny book where a small press publisher snaps, and goes and
offs Lee, McFahrlane and Leifeld.
SECTION 6: Pacific Comics/Eclipse Comics
Pacific Comics put out a number of sci-fi and horror anthologies,
some of which were later picked up and wound up by Eclipse.
It's all early eighties, as far as I'm aware.
There were also a set of horror titles between the two, where Eclipse
finished the run of the Pacific Comics started title, then kicked off a
similar book with a similar title.
SECTION 7: John Carter, Warlord of Mars related books
John Cameron adds the following info:
Characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs - Tarzan, John
Carter of Mars, David Innes, etc.
Anyway, ERB is considered one of the founders of American science fiction
as a result of his books on Mars, Venus, the Moon, at the center of the
earth, etc. The original John Carter books started in 1912. That's
why I would certainly vote to include in your list:
John Carter, Warlord of Mars (Marvel) 1-28 1977-79
Weird Worlds (National) 1-7 1972-74
Color Comics (Dell) #375 (John Carter again) 50s...
JC is treated something like a superhero in the comics, and I know you're
not including them - but the original JC books by Burroughs are certainly
very important in the history of sf, and can still be found in paperback
today (in the sf section - Del Rey Books).

SECTION 10: Funny Animal Sci Fi and Horror Books
Information supplied by Tad Morgan
Interesting list -- I figured I'd use it as an excuse to look through
my comics to provide you with a list of anthropomorphic (a.k.a. "funny"
animal, a.k.a. furry) comics that fit into the sf catagory. It is by
no means exhaustive as I'm missing quite a few issues of a few series, etc.
Anyway, its a start...
Adventures of Captain Jack (Fantagraphics 1-12) sci fi, anthro
Albedo Anthropomorphics (Thoughts & Images 1983-1989 v0n0 - v1n14) sci fi anthro
"Erma Felna, EDF" main story with sf backups including: a Blade Runner
parody, "High Orbit", "konny and czu", "Space Wolf"
Albedo Anthropomorphics (Antarctic Press 1991-present) sci fi anthro
"Erma Felna, EDF" & "Space Wolf"
Command Review (Thoughts & Images 1-3) sci fi, anthro-collections of "Erma Felna
EDF"
Critters (Fantagraphics 1986-1989 1-6,8-17,29,34,42,43,47-49 [a.k.a. Birthright]
,50) - general anthro anthology, listed issues have at least one sf or
horror story in them
Dalgoda (Fantagraphics) sci fi
Furrlough (Antarctic Press 7,8,10) - general antro anthology, listed issues
contain at least one sf story
Fusion (Eclipse) sci fi
Space Usagi (Mirage 1-3) - sci fi, anthro
Space Wolf (Antarctic Press 1-2) - sci fi, anthro
SECTION 11: Titles that I have doubts about being sci fi or horror
Lum*Urusei Yatsura (translated manga by Rumiko Takahashi, published by Viz,
lots of aliens, spaceships, and trips to other planets, times, etc., but it's
more of a humor title)
Metal Bikini (published by Eternity, more of a superhero title)
Trouble With Tigers (published by Antarctic Press, crossover of Tigers of
Terra, which is science fiction, with Ninja High School, which isn't. Mostly
takes place in the Tigers of Terra universe)
Astro-Boy (published by Now), Battle of the Planets (publisher unknown),
Voltron (publisher unknown): All fall somewhere between science fiction and
superhero.
