A shop in Victoria sent me down a horror comics rabbit hole

This is my first Reddit post, and I thought I’d start with an unexpected highlight of my time on Canada’s West Coast: discovering Cavity in Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
Looking back, that shop — and everything it led me to explore — is one of the things I’ll remember most about the trip.
Cavity (located beyond Chinatown) and its discoveries of Saint Sinner and (re)discoveries of Heavy Metal, became the starting point for searches that took me through Hellraiser, Eerie, Doctor Leviathan, and Nightbreed. One discovery led to another, and I kept finding reasons to dig further.
I’ve long been drawn to horror, especially the point where something disturbing becomes strangely beautiful. Finding that in illustrated form — the textures, the transformed bodies, the care put into a single image — has been a particularly rewarding part of this journey. Some pages make me stop and look at them as paintings before I even read the dialogue.
So that’s what I’m bringing back from the Canadian West Coast: a growing reading list and a fascination that keeps opening new doors.
Has anyone else here visited Cavity? Based on these titles, what would you suggest I explore next?

I’m a big Halloween (season) fan and this cover spews seasonal vibes. I’ve been eyeing a copy of this beautiful cover online for a bit. I Walked into a random shop today and found this chillin behind glass for $35! It’s complete and in pretty good shape. It’s gonna look awesome framed!

Topps Jason Goes To Hell Final Friday #2

Was super happy to find this today. A little imperfect and definitely a readers copy. But it is my first Jason comic so I couldn’t be happier.

Secrets of Haunted House #5 (1975)

This is my latest mail call. I just received this particular issue of Secrets of Haunted House #5. This is one comic issue I thought I’d never own. The cover art is one of the most highly sought after by one of the industry’s greatest. I can remember seeing this issue all over the place growing up. If I’d only been into horror comics as a kid I would have got this one from the comic shop dollar bin.

Retomando la colección con este hermoso ejemplar de Noches de terror

Este cómic se publicó en Argentina, entre 1972 y 1973 y la mayoría de sus historias eran de artistas regionales. Este es el número 4, un número bajo bastante difícil de conseguir (la colección de por si los es)
