Beginning in March 1952, \u003cem\u003eAmazing Detective Cases\u003c\/em\u003e began detailing cases where justice was served in supernatural fashion and beginning in May 1953, the adventures in \u003cem\u003eMen's Adventures\u003c\/em\u003e were taken over by ghosts, murderous revenge, and psychological terror. The cream of Atlas' artistic line-up -- including recent EC stars and future Marvel staples - rose to the grisly challenge of the horror genre. Each issue is crammed with four condensed tales of creeping dread, ironic comeuppance, or startling twists, all from a different artist or team. \u003cp\u003eAmong the short, sharp shocks included in this volume are the mini masterpieces \"The Eerie Escape\" by B. Krigstein, \"The Torture Master!\" by Russ Heath, The Drowning Witch\" by Reed Crandall and \"The 3rd Corpse\" by Bill Everett. Stories by Gene Colan, John Romita, Joe Sinnott, Dick Ayers, Jim Mooney, Paul Reinman and George Tuska, all of whom remained through the shift to Marvel Comics, additionally fill out these issues, along with Atlas regulars Fred Kida, Mort Lawrence, Mike Sekowsky and Myron Fass. Notably included is the first appearance of \"Gorilla Man\" by Robert Q. Sale, a character brought back in Marvel's contemporary Agents of Atlas series, and part of their ongoing continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollecting \u003cem\u003eAmazing Detective Cases\u003c\/em\u003e #11-14 and \u003cem\u003eMen's Adventures\u003c\/em\u003e #21-26, \u003cem\u003eShiver As You Read!\u003c\/em\u003e is a perfect companion to \u003cem\u003eAdventures Into Terror, Venus\u003c\/em\u003e, and the other titles of the Atlas Comics Library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverett, Bill:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eBill Everett \u003c\/b\u003e(1917-1973) was the foundational artist of Marvel Comics. He originated Namor, the Sub-Mariner as a freelance creation, before placing it in \u003cem\u003eMarvel Comics #1\u003c\/em\u003e, the first publication from Timely Comics, later Atlas, then Marvel. Everett wrote and drew the early appearances of the character from 1940-42, and would periodically return to him during the post-war '40s, right up until the early 1970s. During Atlas' heyday, Everett worked extensively on horror anthology shorts, including taking over the romance\/fantasy series \u003cem\u003eVenus\u003c\/em\u003e and converting it to straight horror. After Marvel's wholesale move to a superhero universe, Everett co-created the blind hero Daredevil with editor\/scripter Stan Lee.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eColan, Gene:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \"\u003cstrong\u003eEugene Jules Colan\u003c\/strong\u003e (1926 - 2011) illustrated many war comics for both Timely\/Atlas and DC Comics.
