The Complete Thing Omnibus Black & White Edition Black & White Edition

The Complete Thing Omnibus Black & White Edition by Retro Comic Reprints is set to be published on July 10, 2024. This edition compiles all 17 issues of the iconic horror comic series originally released between 1952 and 1954, showcasing a pivotal moment in pre-code horror. The collection highlights the bold storytelling and striking illustrations that defined the genre, featuring some of the earliest work of renowned artist Steve Ditko, including his first cover.

Readers will find a diverse range of narratives that push the boundaries of good taste and proper behavior, reflecting the creators’ awareness of the impending end of the pre-code era. This omnibus not only presents excessive violence and extreme situations but also emphasizes the quality of the stories and artwork. While the compilation aims to provide the best images available, it is important to note that the comics are over seventy years old, and some imperfections may be present due to their age. This edition serves as a significant resource for fans of comics and graphic novels, particularly those interested in horror fiction.
