“Adult Tales of Terror Illustrated” is the third in a new series of magazines to present a novel and revolutionary development in the art of story-telling. We at E.C. call this new form of adult entertainment “Picto-Fiction”. Picto-Fiction is a careful combination of two arts, the art of writing and the art of illustration.
We deliberately label Picto-Fiction “adult” entertament because it is designed to be just that… entertainment for the more mature fiction reader.
In “Adult Tales of TERROR Illustrated” Picto-Fiction enters into the spine tingling world of horror literature and brings to the adult reader stories of the weird, the uncanny, the supernatural and the macabre. In short, Picto-Fiction intends to scare the wites out of you!
Future issues will include a “Reader’ Page” made up of your comments, so we invite mail. The address is:
