ACG COLL WORKS FORBIDDEN WORLDS HC #11
(W) Various (A) Ogden Whitney (CA) Na
They may have been Forbidden to some, particularly when the Wertham Seduction of the Innocent book hit the newsstands, but to kids the length and breadth of the United States (and a select few in the UK), Richard Hughes and his tremblin' team of terrific tormenters were where it was at. Big time. Tempus certainly does fugit. Tales exploring the supernatural collected together from the ACG classic Forbidden Worlds issues #65-70.
