Best Covers You've never Seen--Shocking Mystery Cases!!

In the early 1950s, Star Comics re-purposed an pre-existing crime title as Shocking Mystery Tales...

...an odd hybrid of crime comics and horror comics...

The book swung wildly in quality in the interiors...

...but there was one constant through the 11-issue run...

Engaging covers by L.B. Cole.

Crime? Horror? What's the difference?

Covers from 1952-1954
