Scary Stories
"An intelligent comedy based on real events and dealing with serious issues". -- The Globe and MailJules Chaykin is an expert in the field of blood and gore stories, like the ones found in the classic Tomb of Doom comics, and the survival of his art is in the hands of his publisher, Wally Hoverton. With the 1954 senate committee's investigations into the effect of horror comics on juveniles and the newly imposed comics code authority as a backdrop, Gordon Armstrong's Scary Stories matches pleasure and pain with exquisitely ghoulish twists and a subtle commentary on the state of censorship and freedom of the artist.
