A circus performer terrorized by mysterious powers from beyond . . . a jade idol of a monkey that carries a curse on a south pacific island drives a man to the brink of madness . . . an art gallery haunted by paintings that come to life at night . . . . a dictator that sees enemies around every corner, but who can’t see the threat right before his eyes . . .
These are just a few of the chilling tales awaiting readers in the first volume…
With a new introduction by Boris Karloff’s daughter Sara Karloff, this collection brings together four long-unavailable comics in a handsome hardcover Archival format -- the first two issues of Boris Karloff Thriller, as well as the first two issues of the series that would continue shocking and amusing audiences for almost one hundred issues, Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery.
