Four-Colour Frightcomic style

clean ink, lurid flat colour, hatched skies

Where it comes from: Horror anthologies, 1950–1955 — the clean-line school.

Clean brush-ink line, heavy spot blacks, parallel hatching and flat lurid four-colour on newsprint, with wide staring eyes under a cross-hatched sky.

Start a comic, pick Four-Colour Fright on the second step, and everything it draws holds the look: the cast, the places, every panel of every issue.
