Supernatural Thrillers
''Supernatural Thrillers'' was an American horror fiction comic book published by Marvel Comics in the 1970s that adapted classic stories of that genre, including works by Robert Louis Stevenson and H.G. Wells, before becoming a vehicle for a supernatural action series starring an original character, the Living Mummy.
==Publication history==
''Supernatural Thrillers'' ran 15 issues, from December 1972 to October 1975. The title was one of four launched by Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Roy Thomas to form a line of science fiction and horror anthologies with more thematic cohesiveness than the company's earlier attempts that decade, which had included the series ''Chamber of Darkness'' and ''Tower of Shadows''. Whereas those titles generally presented original stories, these new books would instead adapt genre classics and other stories.
With the four titles' debuts set to be staggered over the course of four months, Marvel premiered ''Journey into Mystery'' vol. 2 (Oct. 1972), ''Chamber of Chills'' (Nov. 1972), ''Supernatural Thrillers'' (Dec. 1972), and, with a late start, ''Worlds Unknown'' (May 1973). Originally slated to be titled ''Gothic Thrillers'',〔Per Marvel Comics "Bullpen Bulletins" item in (''The Avengers'' #105 (Nov. 1972) ) and other comics released that month. "For the foreseeable future ... virtually each and every issue of these two mags (into Mystery'' and ''Chamber of Chills'' ), plus the fast-upcoming GOTHIC THRILLERS already in the works, will headline an eerie adaptation of a masterpiece by a major fantasy author!"〕 the first issue of ''Supernatural Thrillers'' featured Theodore Sturgeon's 1940 short story "It!", adapted by writer-editor Thomas and penciler Marie Severin, with cover art by Jim Steranko.
Four of the next five issues likewise contained adaptations: H.G. Wells' 1897 novella ''The Invisible Man'', by writer Ron Goulart and penciler Val Mayerik (#2), featuring another Steranko cover; Robert E. Howard's "The Valley of the Worm", co-written by Gerry Conway and Thomas and penciled by Gil Kane (#3); Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella ''Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' , by writer Goulart and artist Win Mortimer (#4); and the quasi-adaptation "The Headless Horseman Rides Again", writer Gary Friedrich and penciler George Tuska's original sequel to Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
