Top Pre-Code Horror Comic Books

***This post is not for children or someone with delicate sensibilities. 
Graphic violent and disturbing artwork.  You have been warned.***

Before Seduction of the Innocent was published in 1954, some horror books of the late 40’s and early 50’s were shocking.  Even now, some of them are jarring in the graphic violence, callous treatment of fellow humans, or ability to haunt your nightmares.  Some of these comics make you aware of fears that you didn’t know you had.  Since 2020, the majority of these books have risen dramatically in value.  They are rare, notorious, and highly sought after.  I’ve gone through thousands of covers on Comics Price Guide to show you some of the scariest, most shocking pre-code horror covers.  This is my opinion, so your list of pre-code horror books could be vastly different.  Each one of these comic book covers makes me turn on the lights and check under my bed.
