Corben's self-published anthology underground

FANTAGOR 5th issue in 1983 (on the cover titled
FANTAGOR PRESENTS: BROOD ).
https://readallcomics.com/fantagor-5/ Issue 5 includes nice pin-ups of Corben's EC-styled horror host characters:
.The two-headed host, Fantagor.
.The cloaked Gurgy Tate (the host from
SKULL COMICS).
.And a character in the last story who could double for Horrilor (host of
GRIM WIT , its 2 issues not yet scanned online for me to link here).
This 5th issue was the template for Corben's
Fantagor Press line of comics and trades, that ran from 1983-1994. For whatever reason in 1994 Fantagor Press abruptly ceased publication afer
FROM THE PIT 1 (intended as a four-issue series).
And after that Corben freelanced again, for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW, Veritigo and other publishers.
SKULL COMICS 1-6 (1970-1972, Last Gasp, hosted by Gurgy Tate)
