Two years before Universal's' "Creature from the Black Lagoon" popularized marauding green fish-men with gilly muttonchops, Nightmare gave us the Devil from the Deep. Coincidence? Yes, probably. In the 21st century, comic books are Hollywood's idea incubators, but in the pre-Code era, comics were largely beneath the notice of the more respectable branches of the entertainment industry.

A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
