💀 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

Key Facts

💀 MATRIX COMIX: Considered a grail for many underground horror collectors, what’s truly special about this issue is that it features the first cover from the notoriously reclusive and influential artist known only as The Gurch

I corresponded with The Gurch last year and regarding Gore Shriek 6 ½ he said: “I've always gotten the jitters thinking strange beings were peering in on me as I sleep, and this image reminds me of my bedroom closet door from years ago”

Inspired by personal experiences and 80s VHS horror movies, The Gurch’s work is a phantasmagoric filth fest that also honors the dark humor he found in EC Comics, the publisher best known for their Tales from the Crypt title

Currently, The Gurch is working on a highly anticipated new anthology due out next year titled, 'Art Most Foul'
