CUENTOS DE BRUJAS No. 35 * Mexican CHAMBER OF CHILLS No. 18 Publisher: La Prensa Date Published: August, 1954 Description: CGC certified: VG+ (4.5). Slightly brittle pages. Mexican version of Chamber of Chills #18 (Harvey, 1953). Color interiors. Stories translated into Spanish. Cover: Lee Elias. Art: Howard Nostrand, Joe Certa, Bob Powell, Joe Giunta. CGC Census: This is the only graded copy. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in any grade. Grave and a Haircut: Classic throat-slashing barber cover by Lee Elias. Under the covers, a man gets irradiated by an A-bomb blast, murders a guy, gulps booze, and spontaneously combusts. Atomic death occurs often enough in pre-Code mags that it's worth considering the connection between nuclear fears and the walking dead that populate pre-Code terror tales. "The timing [of the horror comics boom] was apt. On September 3, 1949, U.S. government intelligence discovered that the Soviet Union had tested an atomic bomb. Suddenly, for most Americans, young people among them, the Cold War was no longer a political abstraction, a jumble of foreign maps with dotted borders or debates about economic theory, but a palpable threat of vast and gruesome devastation. The zombies with hollow eye sockets and skin peeling off their bones who haunted the boneyards in the panels of [horror comics] could not have been far removed from the readers' mental pictures of their own fate in the wake of the nuclear holocaust now possible at any moment." — David Hadju, The Ten Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America.
