Woooo! What fun! Did anyone else get it? The reprints look great (was the original marvel magazine in B&W?). There's some fun phototext pieces too, including "Introducing Brother Voodoo" written by Tony Isabella. How can you go wrong with that?

They should reprint those B&W horror mags like haunt of horror, they had some really good tales . I liked those with Gabriel the devil hunter , pretty freaky and scary.

Why are all of these Essentials in B&W? I mean they weren't originally in B&W were they? With that said I would love anything with Bro. Voodoo in it but I'm not getting anything in B&W. Not visually appealing to me
