House of Hammer-Hammer\'s Halls of Horror

The best selling British film magazine of it's time, House of Hammer was written by top talents, like John Brosnan, Dennis Gifford, Ramsey Campbell, Alan Frank and others.

Combining features on current (especially those from Hammer Studios) and classic horror films with comic strip adaptations of Hammer films by UK comics artists such as Brian Lewis, Brian Bolland, John Bolton, Berni Wrightson and others.

In March 1978 Hammer's House of Horror was launched in the US with issue #1 (a compilation of previously published material and the same cover art as #17). The title of the UK edition of the mag was similarly changed on issues number 19 and 20. Having earlier gotten wind of this, Warren Publications copyrighted the title and printed a few hundred copies of it's House of Horror #1, which forced Top Sellers to change the name, once again, to Hammer's Halls of Horror for issues number 21-23, after which the mag was canceled by the parent publisher. In 1982, Halls of Horror returned (now published by Quality Communications Ltd.) for a further seven issues and an all comics Dracula special issue.
