Voodoo 1 1952

Voodoo 1 1952 Matt Baker Classic. We’ll get back to some superhero stuff after October. This month has been dedicated to pre code horror (PCH). The “pre code” references the time before there was a comic code of ethics in the upper right corner of comics. The code was a means of self regulation for the comic book industry in response to the senate hearings (SOTI) that condemned the horror depictions that were gaining traction in comic books of that era. A dramatic turn away from horror followed. Many of the books were destroyed or discarded which is part of the reason that these books can be so rare. This one was another trade pickup from my buddy at @topcitycomics Stories and art by Matt Baker and Robert Webb. Ajax-Farrell's horror series Voodoo managed to stand out in the crowded field of pre-Code horror comics by dint of its sheer weirdness. Jungle hero Olane tracks a man who collects human skulls, in a story with art by good-girl legend Matt Baker. A couple seeks help at a haunted house after their car breaks down. Paranormal investigator Dr. Trimm realizes that Ellen's uncle Caleb is not a ghost, or even dead at all.
