CRYPTOLOGY 12

“In this issue, I, the Cryptologist, raise Steve Ditko’s otherworldly artistry from the depths to showcase an eerie selection of his extra-dimensional terrors. Then we begin a two-part celebration of 1944’s House of Frankenstein, a veritable monsterfest if ever there was one. If that’s not enough, we’ll meet up with some delightful leading ladies of horror, among them Hazel Court, Brinke Stevens, Barbara Shelley, Martine Beswick, and Ingrid Pitt—but be careful not to fall head over heels for their charms; you might (not) live to regret it. If you do escape those cinema sirens, the darkly mirthful creations of Charles Addams will be here to raise a guffaw or two. Our spine-tingling foray into pre-Code horror comics continues, and as you’ve come to expect from Cryptology, there will be more Hammer horror treasures, along with other forgotten terrors from the past. If you never get your fill of chills, acquire this latest issue of Cryptology, the only read for retro horror fans!”
