Hi Paghat,
   I didn't realize Arkhams had fallen in repute so far. I would agree
partially with your statements above, except that I still think
Arkhams from its "golden age" (1939-48) are wonderful books with huge
historical interest. I would particularly cite "Skullface" and "Dark
Carnival" as two of the premier fantasy publications of all time.
   Best,
