Boris Karloff Thriller

(Gold Key, 1962-1963)
™ and © Western Publishing Company, Inc.
Series continues in Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery #3

This comic book anthology series came on the tail end of the original television series run from 1960-1962. After a couple of issues, this title was soon replaced by the long-running Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery. There is no difference between the two titles, which are both basically watered down versions of Tales From the Crypt or The Twilight Zone. Karloff, for the uninitiated, starred as the definitive Frankenstein back in 1931, and narrated the ever-popular How the Grinch Stole Christmas TV special in 1966 before passing away in 1969.
