Michael Aitch Price (alias Michael H. Price) has devoted the COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series of graphic novels to the restoration of the artwork of Robert Hayward Webb, the largely anonymous workhorse of the Jerry Iger Studio -- a shabby but influential force in the pre-censorship comic-book racket of the 1950s. With MUSEUM OF MO' DERN' ART, Price collects the major paintings of the series: Restorations and adaptations of the covers of many of those notorious comic books. The gallery catalog also reproduces many examples from Price's THE HUMAN CONDITION, a suite of evocative watercolors and...

Horror comics meet Theatre of the Absurd in a new collection from Rondo-nominated Michael Aitch Price -- author and co-artist of the acclaimed "Carnival of Souls" graphic novel. Adapted from a wealth of pre-censorship comics of the 1950s -- but with bizarre twists straight out of the stand-up improv scene -- "The Farkleschweiler Dossier" is a cram-packed 300-page whopper of ghastly mirth and hair-raising hilarity. A companion volume to Mike Price's "Carnival of Souls," "Scream Chills Illustrated," and "MHP's Great Big Crock of Christmas" -- all Comics from the Gone World

Stalking from the ruins of Anxious... uh, Ancient Egypt comes THE MUMMY -- undead bane of temple-defilers everywhere -- with just one dire objective: To inflict his Family Album of creepy cousins upon the rest of the world First collection ever of the acclaimed series of comic-book short subjects, accumulated from 20 years' worth of magazine appearances and many hitherto unpublished pieces.

The COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series lurches onward through the fog with a fresh-picked selection of Stale Tales from Somebody Else's Crypt -- retooled for Maximum Absurdity and Ghastardly Humorous Effect. The source is the fabled Jerry Iger Comics Sweatshop of the 1950s: Some of the very pages that brought down the wrath of the censors upon the comic-book racket in the form of the stultifying Comics Code Authority. The Iger Shop, however, might not recognize its own offspring, which now emerge as a Study in Hideous Mirth and Hilarious Menace. Say what? If you have to ask, then you'll never...

The Comics from the Gone World project forges ahead with JOURNEY INTO WEIRD MYSTERIES OF STRANGE FEAR, a title derived from such nonsensical classics of the pre-Code 1950s as JOURNEY INTO FEAR, STRANGE MYSTERIES, and (just to be redundant) MYSTERIES WEIRD & STRANGE. A whopping 168 pages of intermingled (or intermangled) horror and humor, with a wealth of non-sequiturs, dream-state incoherence, and more Knock-Knock Jokes than you can stake a Schick at...

The COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series lurches on with DEAD UNBURIED -- Michael Aitch Price's uproarious compilation of 1950s horror comics, preserved and vandalized with the most absurd imposed dialogue this side of WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY? or WAITING FOR GODOT, whichever comes first. Great White Hunter Frank Buck turns zombie master to "bring 'em back alive." A grammatically obsessed vampire punishes bad spellers. Crooked undertakers get their comeuppance to the frenzied cry of "Yerkus mazerkus " And disembodied wraiths cavort throughout 150 pages of ghastly mirth and horrid hilarity. The GONE...

A new phase for the COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD project -- an inaugural volume of what will become the complete and chronological resurrection of the 1940s' GHOST GALLERY feature, as originally published in JUMBO COMICS. Certain conditions prevail, of course: Cremo Studios reserves the right to (1) retain authentic period dialogue, where it works, and (2) inflict Absurdist and Weisenheimer Dialogue at the slightest whim, the point being to obliterate trite and fatuous redundant original dialogue at every opportunity. Painstaking art restorations, livid color images, and all in the service of...

First volume of the remastered GHOST GALLERY series (1942-1945) from Fiction House's JUMBO COMICS. 232 pages of pre-Comics Code horror yarns from a series that beat TALES FROM THE CRYPT to the punch by almost a decade. Part of Michael Aitch Price's COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD series, and tied in with Price's FORGOTTEN HORRORS series of movie-history books.
