Comic Books for Horror Lovers: DCeased
Spine-Chilling Spotlight
It’s no secret that I love horror in any and all forms. While watching films takes up a lot of my free time, I do find myself being somewhat successful in keeping up with some of my other hobbies.

When you think of horror in comics, Marvel may not be the first publisher that comes to mind. Depending on your general knowledge of comic books, you may just automatically think of the old EC Comics titles like The Vault of Horror and Tales From the Crypt.
