Notes

In the early-’90s, comic publisher Millennium Publications licensed the name of the classic magazine anthology Weird Tales for a comic book anthology title. It would feature a mix of new horror stories and adaptations of classic works. The first issue of Weird Tales Illustrated featured an adaptation of Harlan Ellison’s “Shattered Like A Glass Goblin.”
