First interior art by Greg Capullo

💀 MATRIX COMIX: Probably the best-known book on this list, I would be remiss not to include this essential issue for those new to the genre

Published by FantaCo in 1986, Gore Shriek ushered in a new age of horror comics with its splatterpunk aesthetic

Featuring a Bruce Spaulding Fuller cover and boasting the first published work of Greg Capullo, this anthology issue is the foundation of Copper Age horror

With only 16 CGC 9.8s on census and a 90-day 9.8 average of just under $500, this historic horror book is drastically undervalued
