Fantastic Video. You know your comics for sure. I like your humble and generally positive look on comic books. Only thing is I think if you looked a little more there are some Manga I think you would like. Things Otomo's Akira, and To Terra are two mangas that followed the typical conventions.

10. Aliens Dead Orbit 9. Plunge (Hill House Comics) 8. Empire of the Dead 7. Harrow County 6. Nailbiter 5. Hellboy 4. BPRD Plague of Frogs 3. Swamp Thing (Snyder/Soule) 2. Locke & Key 1. Swamp Thing (Moore) I wasn’t sure if Animal Man (Lemire) counts as horror but if it does it would probably crack my top 5. Also looking forward to his Gideon Falls run as well which I hear is really good. I have Empire of the Dead in an OHC, unfortunately long out print. Not sure what those price look like in the secondary market. I can keep an eye out for one if you’re looking to upgrade.

I am trying to find a horror anthology comic book that I got back in the 70s or the 80s it was packed three comics in a plastic bag. And had a voluptuous, redheaded, vampire, and a scientist I think.. and they were the hosts of the comic, but the girl also had her own story in the comic of how she became a vampire . Does anyone have any idea what that would be?

Great list. Can’t go wrong with Junji Ito. when it comes to horror. I like all his work. Even his lesser work is at the very least bizarre and different enough to keep me interested. Here’s some other books that I like in the horror genre. Mercy by Mirka Andolfo, a Lovecraftian story that takes place in the late nineteenth century in a mining town. At the Mountain of Madness by Gou Tanabe, this manga artist has adapted a lot of Lovecraft. So far we’ve only gotten two of them in the states. Stray Dogs by tony fleecs, it’s deals with dogs. So if you don’t like seeing dogs getting hurt. You might want to pass on this one. Faithless by brian azzarello, it’s about a person who is into magic. Little do they know they stumble onto the real stuff. Apparently there’s a hardcover with a slipcase coming out next year. Guess I’ll be double dipping. Red Room by ed piskor. there are two trades of this one out. It’s not for everyone as it is very dark and twisted. I’d do research first before testing the waters on this one. Berserk by Kentaro Miura , it’s a manga in the style of Conan the Barbarian if it was done by Clive Barker. The deluxe hardcover editions are fantastic.

Nice list! :) almost immediately guessed your number one and was gonna ask you about upgrading TWD to color if/when they come out :D I'm so bad at recognizing what classifies as horror and don't know if I read enough for a top ten, but these are some I enjoyed a lot: The Sixth Gun Locke & Key Wraith (Joe Hill) The Stuff of Legends Aliens: Dead Orbit Godzilla: Half-Century War Sullivan's Sluggers Prometheus: The Complete Fire and Stone The Dark Judges: Fall of Deadworld Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? Looking through my collection I found (maybe) ten anyway. Does DCeased count? As I said, I'm bad at this :D

I read some Tomb of Dracula stories through black & white reprint Marvel UK comics when I was a wee comic fan, fell in love with the art. Interesting Top Ten, I thought I hadn't read horror comics but mulling it over while trying to sleep I realised I had read some over the years. I didn't list O'Barr's The Crow because thats mostly a revenge story, or Face which was just a Vertigo Voices one shot. Heres Ten in alphabetical order - Crisis on Infinite Earths - yes that Crisis, I found it distressing, and thats horror to me Doorway to Nightmare - haunted people seek the aid of Madame Xanadu or have dark fates on the horizon foretold through the tarot Father Shandor strip in Warrior Magazine - deamon slaying monk, he appears in a Hammer Dracula movie too Ghost Rider - original Johnny Blaze stories were creepy horrors to me, like a Marvel comic version of a Universal monster movie character John Constantine Hellblazer - from beginning to end, its mostly 300 issues of bad things happening Judge Death in 2000AD - scariest character from a parrallel dimension Man-Thing - enjoyed finding these when I was young, he's my favourite muck monster The Marquis - Guy Davis horror/madness masterpiece, 18th century europe and demonic possession rife amongst the decadent rich .. or is the hunter insane? The Spectre - Ostrander & Mandrake bringing ruthless punishment and torment Swamp Thing - some of the weirdest and creepiest adversaries in this series

Nice list, but there is also a horror comic missing that is not included or even mentioned here and I consider it a very serious shortcoming for true horror fans. That said, the comic in question has been on Italian newsstands for 37 years ( second in sales behind Tex Willer's iconic 1948 western comic) and is called Dylan Dog. Published starting from 1986, his adventures have in fact alternated traditional horror with numerous "homages" to the classic monsters of the genre, to the modern splatter of the films of Dario Argento and George Romero, but also to yellow, surreal and fantastic in general, always with great irony. Former Scotland Yard agent, detoxified alcoholic, vegetarian and convinced animal rights activist, Dylan Dog has a mysterious past wrapped in a dreamlike and surreal dimension. Not surprisingly, the dream (or rather: the nightmare) and everything that seems to be beyond reality are his personal and professional interests. As a private detective he deals exclusively with unusual cases, in all shades of the term: he is addressed to those who have been affected, or even just touched, by the black wing of the supernatural. People the police don't believe and who would often risk slipping into madness if they didn't find someone willing to listen to them and help them. Fear fascinates him, the irrational and inexplicable fear of the unknown. And he himself is afraid: he is certainly not an invincible hero, and indeed sometimes he just can't solve the case, kill the monster, drive away the nightmare. Or more often it only partially succeeds, and when it all seems over, the horror reappears... Dylan Dog is an anti-hero, then? Not even: he's just a man. A man who, unlike many, does not reject the unknown but instead tries to penetrate and understand it, especially when the mystery and horror lurk in the depths of the unconscious. Ironic, impulsive, problematic, full of doubts about himself and the world, strong and tender at the same time, Dylan Dog hates violence, loves women, enjoys playing the clarinet and building a model of a galleon that may never end . He is an avid cinephile, reads a lot of everything, loves pizza and always dresses in the same way: black jacket, red shirt and blue jeans. And despite all the horrors and hallucinating absurdities he has witnessed, it cannot be said that he still believes completely, blindly, in the supernatural: "I don't believe it, but I hope so".

- The Last God: The Fellspyre Chronicles Book 1 (there is only 1) / DC Dark Age Fantasy, but also Horror. - Glimmer Rats / 2000AD Basicly ALIENS + THE MIST + THE THING, or better, the Tyranids from WH40K, where they go to "their" world, and the whole world, or reality/dimension, is one big Cosmic Existential Horror. - Zombie World: Champion of the Worms / Dark Horse Kinda Lovecraftian, with Zombies, and Kaiju Worms. - The Lords of Misrule / Dark Horse Black & White, don't remember much, but I think it's kinda Cosmic Horror, though not Lovecraftian... have to read it again. 😅 - Spiderman / Marvel Don know the titel, but it's an old comic from 1986/87, Doctor Strange wasn't availabe, so Spidy helps someone fighting off an Interdimensional Horror, kinda, that can change into different monsters
