The ‘Pocket Chiller Library’ comics were a pocket-sized mainstream horror comic which ran for a total of 137 issues between 1971 and 1977. Each month, two issues of the comic were published, amounting to a total of twenty-four issues published each year.
However, it should be noted that with issue 83 and then from issue 86 onwards, the publishers simply started reprinting the earlier stories. Of these, the first 29 reprints (issues 83 and then 86 – 113) retitled the story. As such, there were only ever a total of 84 unique stories within the PCL series, despite there being more titles.
Unfortunately, each issue was undated, making it difficult to be sure of the exact date of the first publication for each issue. However, it is widely understood the comics were monthly publications, with two publications released simultaneously each month, with the original stories running from January 1971. Additionally, each issue was unfortunately uncredited to either the writer or the comic artist(s).
