Monster of the Day #798

Here’s a shocker. The early issues of Creepy and Eerie, the ones edited and nearly entirely written by Archie Goodwin (no, not that Archie Goodwin–I think), are still amazingly fab. I urge anyone to go to their libraries and request the super-nifty Dark Horse hardcover reprint books of those, of which I own several. A great way to introduce kids to really classic conceptions of monsters, too.

    The original painting of the large figure in the foreground is kept locked in Bill Belichick’s attic.

    I thought the Warren stuff was a little strong for kids, frequently featuring as it did nudity and gore….

    It is certainly what interested this kid in Eerie and Creepy, however, my childhood budget could not cover both Mad and either of these mags. So, I grew up sarcastic rather than perverted ;)

    The 60s period was mostly kid stuff. The 70s is when Eerie and Creepy poured on the nudity and gore. Not that I’m complaining, mind you.

    I forget, was it Creepy or Eerie that ran the last comics story done by Frank Frazetta, ‘Werewolf’? I remembered the monster (the Gonteekwa) as being the flipping Conan of werewolves. It made the titular bear from Grizzly look puny!
