Weird Terror  by L. B. Cole

100 years ago today in Queens, New York, one of the greatest cover artists of all time was born — L.B. Cole! Dramatic, dynamic and haunting, Cole’s covers were saturated in primary colors and black — resulting in the some of the trippiest, most nightmare-inducing images of the pre-Code era. @fantagraphics published “Black Light: the World of L.B. Cole,” the first collection of Cole’s work, in 2014. . #lbcole #precode #precodecomics #horrorcomics #weirdtales #blacklight #birthday #1918 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCPIGPg2SW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wnzsfywxurhd

I don’t know a ton about #LBCole or Golden age comics, I’m trying to learn more and more everyday but when I saw this for $100 I thought “what would @shortboxed do?” And I bought it. Reading about it I found that #Overstreet lists it as a classic cover and an early example of the villain looming over the heroes out of the darkness. #targetcomics #goldenagecomics #curtiscomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Ii3hxhTw3/?igshid=164efja0mf9my
