Product Description:
Gather up your wooden stakes, your blood-covered hatchets, and all the skeletons in the darkest depths of your closet, and prepare for a horrifying adventure into the darkest corners of comics history. Dark Horse Comics further corners the market on high-quality horror storytelling with one of the most anticipated releases of the decade - a hardcover archive collection of the legendary Creepy Magazine! This groundbreaking material turned the world of graphic storytelling on its head in the early 1960s, as phenomenal young artists like Bernie Wrightson and Neal Adams reached new artistic heights with their fascinating explorations of classic and modern horror stories.

- Dark Horse gouges again
While I love the material contained in this volume (and am lucky enough to own the originals), I can't help but be annoyed by the ridiculous price Dark Horse wants for a 240-page b&w reprint book. You only have to look to Fantagraphics' upcoming reprint of "Blazing Combat" to see how inflated Dark Horse's retail price is. Fantagraphics is releasing a hardcover reprint with nearly the same page count (200 pages) for a mere $22.95 -- LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE! And guess what, Fantagraphics will make a profit at that price point without raping aging fanboys who have too much disposable income. This is particularly vexing when you realize that Dark Horse is a much larger publisher than Fantagraphics and thus enjoys even greater economies of scale (thus making their production costs even cheaper than Fantagraphics'). And it's not just this volume. How Dark Horse justifies publishing an "archive" edition of "Herbie," ... Read More

- As good as you remember!
This long-awaited (by me anyway) first volume of what will hopefully be a complete reprinting of the entire Creepy series is reproduced in glorious black-and-white (just as the original series appeared). An amazing array of artists is featured in these first five issues included here: Frank Frazetta (in his last complete comic book story), Reed Crandall, Al Williamson, Angelo Torres, just to name a few. Great writing by Archie Goodwin (mainly) adds to its appeal. And, in a wonderful move, which helps to give more of the atmosphere of the original magazines, contents pages, letters pages, and even some of the original advertisements are included. A wonderfully faithful reprinting of a comics classic. Highly recommended.

- BOO!!!! Spooky!
If you are a fan of 70's horror or EC comics you'll love this anthology magazine. Many stories are vampire or werewolf related, great supernatural tales of suspense with expected and unexpected twist endings.

- My Personal Halloween Treat
I did a search on the off-chance that I might be able to buy an old Creepy magazine from Amazon. To my amazement, the first five issues were compiled into a beautiful, shrink-wrapped book available from Amazon. I am thrilled that I have a part of my past back again. (I think my mom tossed my magazines on one of my family's many moves.)

The descriptions given by the other reviewers were right on the mark! After reading them, I did not hesitate to buy this beautifully done volume and am anxious for volume 2 to be released. I am thankful that this book arrived in time for Halloween--perfect!
