The Wild Covers of Weird Thrillers


Weird Thrillers was one of the many horror comics to be published in the early 50s.  Though there were only five issues and the content was largely made up of true crime stories and sci-fi stories instead of straight horror, Weird Thrillers is still remembered for its awesome covers.

Here are the five covers for Weird Thrillers.  The first four issues were published in 1951.  The fifth and apparently final issue was published in 1952.
