Introduction

 

            From 1965 to 1982, Eerie Publications of New York produced almost 300 black and white horror comic magazines. In their time they were among the most violent and bloody comics that had yet been produced. The covers, which were especially gory, were replete with scenes of dismemberment, torture, and the copious flow of blood. By modern standards, they were rather tame, but in the 1970s they were anything but. They were also some of the most reviled, disparaged, and ignored comics ever produced. And not by parents (or at least not just by them) but by comic collectors, writers, and sellers. Eerie Publications' output was dismissed as worthless, its writing and art execrable (especially compared to rival Warren). For those who loved them, however, they were a pleasure, even if a guilty one. Which is not to disparage the competition, chief rival Warren among them. Warren had the polish as well the cream of the crop in horror writers and artists. Their best stories were gems, masterworks of the genre. Eerie was much more low brow. If Warren was Alfred Hitchcock or George Romero, Eerie was Herschel Gordon Lewis or Lucio Fulci. But as much as I love Warren's work as now - as a 12 year old horror comics fan, Eerie Publications did one thing that Warren didn't - they scared the bejeezus out of me.

            After Eerie closed its doors in 1982, their output was quickly forgotten. Back issues were relegated to flea markets and quarter bins and the purchase of them would often illicit derisive snickers at comic shop sales counters (if they sellers had even heard of them). In recent years, however, Eerie Publications has seen something of a comeback in the collectors market and back issues (especially the rare high-grade ones) have begun to climb in price. Perhaps this is due to some kind of low-brow nostalgia or perhaps to changes in popular culture. With splatter and gore films becoming more critically accepted, Eerie Publications may have attained a certain grindhouse chic. For whatever reason, these magazines are now being collected and this guide is a reflection of that.

 

            This guide includes the following sections:

  1. Introduction
  2. A (Very) Brief History of Eerie Publications
  3. Main Index (for each issue I have (currently all but 20), this section gives date, volume and number, page count, price, cover credits, and a listing of each story with page count, artist, original source, and brief description. Some issues also have notes/comments.
  4. Appendix A - Eerie Checklist. A condensed listing of all the horror comics published by eerie with date, volume and number, page count, price.
  5. Appendix B - Artists and Personnel: Brief bios of the artists whose work appeared in Eerie's pages followed by a listing of other personnel who worked at the company.
  6. Appendix C - Artist Cross-Index: Stories indexed by artist and issue in which they first appeared.

  3. Appendix F - Miscellaneous Lists and Trivia: A list of my personal favorites

 

            NOTE: This is a work in progress. I have yet to obtain a complete collection of Eerie Publications issues (I believe I lack 16 of 291). I also still continue to identify the original sources of these stories. Any corrections, comments, additions can be sent to me at astrp3@yahoo.com.

A (Very) Brief History of Eerie Publications

 

            The history of Eerie Publications is little known and has been all but ignored by comic book historians and writers (Mike Howlett aside). While this index is not intended to be a detailed history of the company, a brief summary is in order.

            The two main forces behind Eerie Publications were likely Myron Fass and Robert W. Farrell, both veterans of the comic book biz, Farrell had been involved with comics for decades, starting out in the 1930s as a writer for the Iger Shop (Jerry Iger's New York studio that produced art for a host of comic publishers) and was later a business associate of comics publisher Victor Fox. Farrell was best known, however, as a publisher in his own right at companies like Superior and later his own Farrell comics (aka Ajax, Four Star etc). Ajax/Farrell produced a number of comics, including four horror titles: Fantastic Fears (later just Fantastic), Haunted Thrills, Strange Fantasy, and Voodoo. These titles used art from Iger Shop, including reprinted material published by Farrell at his earlier companies. After the comics code was imposed in 1955, Ajax/Farrell dropped their horror line, only to take another try at it in 1957 and '58 with four new titles (Strange, Midnight, Dark Shadows, and Strange Journey) that reprinted many of the company's earlier horror stories in watered-down (and sometimes unintelligible) code-approved form. In 1958, these titles were dropped and Farrell moved on to publishing the ­Mad knockoff Panic. This was likely when the nucleus of people that led to Eerie Publications was formed. Working with Farrell on Panic were veteran artist Carl Burgos (creator of the original Human Torch for Timely/Atlas, later Marvel Comics) and Irving Fass, brother to Myron Fass.

            Born in 1926, Myron Fass started in comics in the late 1940s as an artist, primarily in the horror genre (though he also did work in western and romance books), He worked for a number of publishers, but most of his work was done for Toby, Ribage, Gleason, and especially Atlas where he did at least two dozen stories between 1952 and 1954, almost all of them in the horror genre. In 1955 and '56, Fass appears to have done his last work for Gleason on titles like Black Diamond Western, but he soon left comic book art behind (mostly) for the field of magazine publishing. In 1955, inspired by William Gaines, he launched the humor magazine Lunatickle (published by Fawcett's Whitehouse Publications) and the following year he took over as editor of the cheesecake digest-sized magazine Foto-Rama (Arena Publishing Corp.). His first try at a horror themed magazine was 1959's Shock Tales. At his own Tempest Publications, Fass began publishing magazines he'd picked up from other publishers, such as Eye, Photo, and the "original newspaper magazine" Quick in the early-mid 1960s. From these beginnings, Fass would go on to establish a pulp magazine empire (Tom Brinkman's BadMags website calls him the "Demon God of Pulp") producing everything from men's magazines to teenage music magazines to true confession magazines to unexplained phenomena magazines. Fass was as colorful as his magazines and stories about him are legion. He was known for brandishing a sidearm in his office, and once delivered a legendary beating to partner Stanley Harris in front of the entire staff (after which Harris left to form his own Harris Publications) In addition to his magazines, Fass also produced some color comics starting in the late 60s. The most well known was probably Captain Marvel (unrelated to the Fawcett superhero of the same name, though Fass would later sue Marvel when they came out with their own Captain Marvel). Based on an idea by Carl Burgos, Captain Marvel first appeared in a 68-page book of that name cover dated April 1966 under the MF Enterprises banner and featuring a Burgos-drawn origin story. The title lasted just three more issues. Fass's Countrywide Publications also produced the teen humor comic Henry Brewster featuring art by the legendary Bob Powell (who would later do the art for the cover of the 2nd issue of Eerie Publication's Weird).

            The catalyst for Fass's entry (or reentry) into the horror comics field was likely the publication of the first issue of Warren's Creepy in 1964. After the imposition of the comics code in 1955, the horror comic market collapsed, with a number of publishers leaving the field entirely. Those that did stay changed their content to a bland assortment of fantasy and semi-horror material. Atlas continued a number of its horror titles until eventually switching over to monster titles. American Comics Group continued their inoffensive Adventures Into the Unknown (though without the vampires and werewolves). DC's continued its House of Mystery but switched it to a fantasy and later sci-fi title. By 1960, the horror comic market had shriveled. In the mid 1960s, however, horror comics saw a comeback. Under Joe Orlando's editorship, DC switched its fantasy titles back to pure horror. Charlton and Dell/Gold Key launched a spate of titles, and a number of other companies entered the market. At the top of the heap, however, was Jim Warren's Warren Publishing. In the early sixties, Warren struck upon an idea to skirt the comic code's restrictions by producing horror comics in black and white magazine format (magazines not being restricted by the code) aimed at adults. The idea had been tried before. E.C.'s ill-fated picto-fiction line had seen a handful of unsuccessful issues in 1955 and '56 and the one-shot horror anthologies Eerie Tales and Weird Mysteries had appeared in 1959, but none of these lasted. Creepy was a different story. The magazine was an immediate success, a fact that likely didn't go unnoticed by Myron Fass.

            Eerie Publications got its start in 1965 (the Overstreet listing of Tales of Terror by Eerie Publications in 1964 is apparently erroneous and is believed to refer to Charlton's horror fiction magazine Tales of Terror From the Beyond) with the publication of the first issue of Weird (v1n10, cover dated Jan 1966, but likely on the newsstands in October of 1965). The magazine was apparently slated to have a different title. In 1965, Warren launched their second horror title Eerie. The first issue was a small "ashcan" edition (a low-distribution prototype edition not intended for general release) containing just four stories. The issue had been assembled in a reported 20 hours, after which a copy was sent by courier to Washington D.C. and a reported 200 copies rushed by two other couriers to be hastily distributed in four neighboring states. The reason for all the rush? A "rival publisher" was planning on introducing a horror comic magazine with the same title and Warren needed to establish a copyright/trademark on the title ASAP. While I have never heard anyone at Warren say definitively that it was the case, that publisher is believed to be Myron Fass (Russ Jones said that he thought it Fass). Assuming this is true (and given the numerous incorrect "facts" that have been published about Eerie Publications it may well not be), Fass quickly changed the title of his book to Weird and published them under the Eerie Publications banner (the name perhaps a dig at Jim Warren).

            An early mention of Weird came in an advertisement in the 2nd run of Robert Farrell's Panic v2n11.Farrell's association, however, didn't end there. He was listed as the publisher in the first four issues of Weird, but perhaps an even more important contribution came via the art. With one exception, the art in the first issue of Weird consisted entirely or reprints of horror comics produced by Ajax/Farrell in the 1950s. Indeed, with only one other exception, ALL of the stories produced by Eerie Publications prior to the December 1969 issues consisted of such art. (The two exceptions were Frankenstein, the first story in the first issue of Weird, penned by Carl Burgos and the second was The Bloody Stream, a reprint of The One That Got Away from Gillmor's Weird Mysteries #8 that was printed in the first issue of Horror Tales, cover dated November 1969). The art in these early issues would often be altered to make it even gorier than it had been originally. The extent to which this was done has, in my opinion, been somewhat exaggerated. It often consisted of nothing more than adding a few drops of blood here or an open sore there. Some stories, however, bore more significant alterations. Oddly, Eerie Publications sometimes published versions of stories from Ajax/Farrell's code-approved titles of 1957 and 1958 rather than the original pre-code versions, on occasion even adding back in gory effects removed for code approval. This may have been because Eerie was working from the original art, which had been altered to produce the code-approved versions. Despite the retread art, Weird evidently sold well enough that Eerie began to expand its line. In 1968, Eerie issued a second title called Tales From the Crypt. The title lasted a single issue (as you can imagine, there were reportedly legal issues with the name) before being renamed Tales of Voodoo.1969 saw the biggest expansion in Eerie's history with four new titles appearing: Horror Tales, Terror Tales, Tales From the Tomb and Witches Tales. The Ajax/Farrell reprint era lasted until December of 1969 (though the stories would continue to be reprinted for a number of years). It seems that Farrell himself left the company not long after its start. By the fifth issue of Weird, the publisher is listed as Mel Lenny (believed by Brinkman to be advertising manager Mel Lenowitz).

            With the December 1969 issues, the second (and most significant) phase of Eerie's history began as they began to print stories containing original art. The artists can be broken into two large categories. First were American artists. Many of these were Atlas veterans who probably came to Eerie by way of Carl Burgos and/or Myron Fass (or maybe not). Among these were Larry Woromay, Chic Stone, and Dick Ayers. The latter two are probably the best known of the Eerie artists with their work being particularly gruesome. Ayers was a legendary artist, whose career included work at Magazine Enterprises (where he drew the original Ghost Rider) and a long stint at Atlas/Marvel. At Eerie, his work was marked by gallons of blood, brutal violence, and (especially) eyeballs popping out of their sockets (something he refused to do until Fass suggested he go and see Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch.) Chic Stone (known best for his inking work on Marvel's superhero titles) did only a handful of stories for Eerie but they were if anything, even more brutal than Ayers' (Voodoo Terror and Blood Bath have to be seen to be believed). Other American artists included Hector Castellon and Ezra Jackson. Jackson, best known as an inker, was also Eerie's art editor. Contrary to popular belief (the "fact" even appears on Eerie's wikipedia entry) Ezra Jackson was not a pseudonym for Myron Fass but apparently was indeed the American golden age comic book artist. While Carl Burgos didn't pencil any more stories for Eerie, he did serve as editor of the line until the mid-70s. The second source of artists for Eerie was Argentina. A score of Argentine artists worked for Eerie during this period, providing the bulk of their art. The common link among them may have been the Argentine publishing company Editorial Columba where many of them seem to have worked. Among the Argentine artists were Walter Casadei, Oscar Fraga, Domingo Mandrafina, Cirilo Munoz (not Carlos Munoz as has been reported elsewhere), Enrique Cristobal, Ruben Marchionne, Alberto Macagno, Torre Repiso, Oswal (born Osvaldo Walter Viola), Oscar Novelle, Mariana(?) Cerchiara, Felix Saborido, Eugenio Zoppi, and Martha Barnes. Many of these artists went on to greater fame, especially in Europe. A number of other artists worked at Eerie, about whom I know next to nothing. Primary among them were the artist who signed his work as Antonio Reynoso who may or may not have been Argentine and Oscar Stepancich, who was Argentinian. While the art from this period may have been new, the stories were anything but. With only three possible exceptions, all of the 850-odd stories that Eerie produced in this period were what I call "reworks" of pre-code stories from various publishers. They featured new art (and new titles), but the scripts were virtually identical with the original, with only minor changes made. Even the layouts were often near carbon copies of the originals. Why this was done is anybody's guess, but it seems likely it was a cost-savings measure, perhaps to avoid having to pay for a new script (I don’t know what Eerie's rates were, though Dick Ayers mentions that he was paid $27/page).  Cover artists are even less known, but included Novelle, Faba (who did covers for Skywald), Xavier Villanova, and Troy Lanz. Standing head and shoulders above them all is Bill Alexander, whose art, more than any other, defined Eerie Publications. Their names may be forgotten, but their work is unforgettable. Eerie's often stomach-turningly gory covers are by far the thing most remembered by those who remember Eerie at all. More than a few fans have reminisced "The covers were the best thing about them", or "The covers were the only good thing about them." (opinions with which I predictably disagree).

            In late 1970, Eerie went on a brief sci-fi kick with most of their covers switching to sci-fi themes in 1971 . They also launched a pair of new titles, Weird Worlds and Strange Galaxy, both of which featured sci-fi themed stories (though still reworks of pre-code material). In mid 1971, Eerie began including text stories and articles in their titles. Not surprisingly, these were often reprints of either classic horror stories or material pulled from early pulps like Weird Tales (also not surprisingly, Eerie changed the titles of these stories and rarely credited the original authors). By the end of 1971 the two sci-fi titles were gone and the covers were back to their normal horror themes (if Eerie's covers can be said to be in any way "normal".) 1971 had seen the most Eerie titles yet, with 44 issues appearing with 1971 cover dates. 1972 was almost as good with 39 issues appearing. During this period, Eerie also began to heavily (VERY heavily) reprint material from earlier issues, including covers and text stories. Not every story was a reprint (though it often seemed that way) and most issues contained 2-4 original stories in addition to the reprinted stories. While Eerie had reworked pre-code stories from a number of publishers, the Ajax/Farrell stories they printed had thus far been straight (or near straight) reprints. That would change in 1974 as the company began reworking the Ajax/Farrell stories that they'd already reprinted, with new art (then sometimes reworking them yet again with still different art) .

            In 1975, Eerie seems to have undergone a major shake-up (actually, it was the horror comic magazine market itself that underwent a shakeup as Skywald, Marvel, and Atlas/Seaboard also stopped publishing horror comic magazines that year). After three February issues in 1975, the next Eerie title wouldn't appear until April of 1976, launching the third and final stage of Eerie's history. When the tiles did resume, things had definitely changed. The number of titles was pared back to three with Witches Tales, Tales of Voodoo,  and Tales From the Tomb biting the dust. The personnel listed in the masthead were also different. Myron Fass and his business associate Stanley Harris were listed as publishers with Irving Fass as "executive director" and Roy Mosny, Robert Califf, and Roger B. Marshall replacing Carl Burgos as editors. The magazines were also bigger at 68 pages instead of the old 52, though production was cut back from bi-monthly to quarterly. Horror Tales even produced  four 116-page "jumbo" issues. Despite the changes, the stories remained the same - and how. Most (and eventually all) of the stories of this period were reprints of stories that had been printed in pre-1976 issues   Some stories were reprinted half a dozen (or more) times, often with two (or three) different titles. In 1979, a pair of new titles appeared: Weird Vampire Tales and Terrors of Dracula. Though they appeared under the Modern Day Periodicals banner, they were clearly the work of the same company. The new titles consisted entirely of reprints of earlier stories (even the covers and special features were reprinted from earlier issues).

            Not surprisingly, given their content, the new titles, and Eerie Publications itself, didn't last long. The horror comic magazine market was imploding, taking Eerie along with it. Industry leader Warren outlasted Eerie, but not by much, and by the end of 1983, their three horror titles had disappeared (later to be revived, oddly enough, by none other than former Myron Fass partner Stanley Harris). Eerie Publications didn't make it to 1983. The last Eerie title was Weird Vampire Tales v5n3, cover dated March 1982 (but likely on stands in late 1981). With that issue, the Eerie Publications comic "empire" (if one may call it that) was no more.

            


Main Index

 

            This section makes up the bulk of this document. For each issue (that I currently own), the following information is provided: The issues title, number, date, # of pages, and price and any known information about the cover (i.e. the artist and reprint info for covers that were reprinted. This is followed by a listing of each story and feature in the issue, with title, page count, artist (if known), the pre-code story on which the story was based (if known) and a brief plot summary. For artist credits, a single question mark indicates an uncertain credit (though for some of these I am 90% sure they are correct). A double  question mark indicates a VERY uncertain credit. When identifying the original source, "reworked" indicates that the story was printed with essentially the same script as the original but entirely new art. "Reprinted" indicates that the story was reprinted with its original art (though often with some changes and additions). Full information for a story is given only the first time it appears, subsequent appearances will just note that it is reprinted along with the first time Eerie printed the story. If a story was merely retitled, without changing the art, it is listed as a reprint.

 

            "Iger Shop" in the art credits means the story was drawn by the "Iger Shop", Jerry Iger's New York City comic art studio that produced art for a number of publishers, including Ajax/Farrell.

           

            Titles are listed in the order they were introduced and for each title, issues are listed in order (with placeholders for issues I'm missing).

    A homeless man named Gabriel finds a trumpet in the local dump and becomes convinced he must use it to call sinners to repentance by calling forth the dead from their graves.

            This first issue of Weird differed in many ways from subsequent issues. The inside front cover featured art previews from two of the stories inside introduced by "Morris, the Caretaker of Weird". Morris would last a dozen issues, but the art previews would not, appearing only in this one. The preview page also says "Watch for 'Suspense' and 'Shock' 'New'…that dare probe unknown horrors!....On Sale SOON at your Newsstand." It is unclear if 'Shock' and 'Suspense' were planned new titles or not, but if so, they never appeared.

            The opening story, Frankenstein was one of (at most) four stories that appear to be originals created specifically for Eerie Publications. The story was signed by Burgos and associate editor Roger Elwood. Overall, the issue is a decent, if not spectacular, one, especially considering that Eerie had yet to start producing its own art and tackling pre-code publishers other than Ajax/Farrell. Frankenstein, Coward's Curse, Devil's Bride, Creatures From the Deep, and Deadly Pickup are so-so (with the last marred by an all-too-predictable ending).  The three remaining stories, however, are delightfully bizarre examples of the kind of offbeat stories that were Ajax/Farrell's best. Terror of Akbar could have been a very pedestrian attempt at a mummy story, but the idea of featuring the mummy's disembodied eyes provides an odd twist. Trumpet of Doom is perhaps the most bizarre story, featuring a Christ-like figure (perhaps God himself) arriving to save the world from an army of the living dead summoned by a trumpet playing tramp. Doomed may be the best story in the issue. The idea of an executioner requesting that he be allowed to keep the severed heads of his victims is wild enough and the idea that his request is granted is even wilder (if unrealistic). Things get wilder still when the disembodied heads (apparently) return to pursue the ne'er-do-well en masse. A weak ending somewhat detracts from this otherwise excellent story.

            With just the second issue, things have already begun to change. The issues starts with a cover by golden-age and pre-code horror legend Bob Powell (and a painted one at that, one of the few that Powell did). Powell's most well-known pre-code horror work was for Harvey but he also did horror work for St. John, Ziff-Davis, Charlton, Fawcett, and Atlas. As mentioned in the introduction, Powell was working for Fass at this time on the Henry Brewster teen humor comic. The preview of internal art is gone, replaced by a feature on macabre facts (example: "Coffin rings when dug out of a grave…will cure rheumatism.") introduced by a horror host Morris (though he doesn't give his name).
             Another uneven mix of Ajax/Farrell stories. The last story was narrated by "The Old Crone" - one of a small handful of Ajax attempts at creating an E.C.-style horror host (the idea of grisly versions of classic fairy tales was another concept popularized by E.C.) Fangs of Fear and I, the Coffin provide two more examples of the publishers off-the-beaten-path stories (though the idea of a talking coffin was used by another pre-code publisher) and for that reason are my favorites.

  8. Nightmare (8p, Iger Shop)
    Reprint (?) of Dream of Horror, Strange Fantasy #9 (Ajax, Dec 1953)
    After a series of nightmares involving severed heads, a man discovers that anything he wishes for comes true. Things seem to be going swimmingly when he wished his wife and mother-in-law to Hades, but the nightmares return and he discovers that his wishes were granted by an evil relative - an executioner during the French Revolution who now seeks a human head to replace the one he lost.
  9. Rest in Peril (6p, Iger Shop)

    A philandering husband drives his wife insane and has her committed to an insane asylum so he can indulge in an affair with a younger woman, but when they begin to see her ghost, things don't seem so rosy anymore.

 

            For whatever reason, there was a 6-month gap between this issue and the previous one. The legend "Terror… Shock… Suspense…" is added above the title with this issue. I found this issue a bit weaker than the first two with a number of lackluster stories. Cry From the Coffin featured the timeworn plot of a man buried alive while Nightmare's plot was convoluted and implausible. Heads of Horror included the bizarre (or was it ridiculous?) sight of a pair of lovers with comically undersized heads. The Blood Blossom and Black Death featured two of my favorite plot devices - man-eating plants and giant ants (the latter theme being especially popular in pre-code horror likely due to the influence of the film The Naked Jungle).

  8. Corpses of the Jury (8p, Iger Shop)
    Reprinted from Voodoo #6 (Ajax, Jan 1953)
    Former inmates return from the grave to seek revenge on a Nazi prison camp warden who's atrocities had included making a pair of gloves from one of his victim's skin.    

            The "Terror… Shock… Suspense…" legend still appears, but is joined by what would become Eerie's most common blurb: "Told in new chilling picto-fiction". The phrase was borrowed from E.C.'s failed attempts to skirt the Comics Code in late 1955 (as described I the introduction). Eerie may have been trying a similar strategy here, though in their case (unlike in E.C.'s) there was absolutely no difference between the traditional comic book format and their "picto fiction" format. I also do not know what prompted the strategy (if it was a strategy) but the phrase began to be heavily used on covers and in advertisements for Eerie's line of comics. This issue also featured a color ad on the back cover instead of the normal practice of printing the last page of the final story. The ad was for the batman color projector, which Frank Motler in an article in From the Tomb #24 claims was sold from a Myron Fass address. The printing of ads on the back cover would disappear after the next issue and not return for years.

            I found this issue to be easily the best so far. Two of the stories included, Fatal Scalpel and Corpses of the Jury, are considered minor classics and I enjoyed both of them but I  liked Nightmare Island and the bizarre Beast of Baghdad (perhaps the only story ever to include a killer rug - though Ace utilized a similar theme) even better. The issue is also a rather bleak one, with They Couldn't Die being especially so.

            With this issue there appear to have been some changes at Eerie. Their address is now listed as 150 Fifth Avenue, New York NY, 10011.  The publisher and Producer are no longer listed. Fiends From the Crypt is a decent example of a fairly common pre-code genre: the monsters-in-the-Paris-sewers story (later done to perfection by Dick Ayers in his The Sewer Werewolves).

            When the Sea Goes Dry presents an example of Eerie reprinting a version of story from one of Ajax/Farrell's code-approved horror comics of the late 1950s instead of printing the pre-code version, though the changes in this case were relatively minor (the restoration of a severed finger in one panel, the removal of he monster's human head in another, and the removing of a floating body from the final panel etc)  In the Eerie reprint, the severed finger is still restored, but they added a bit of blood to hand to which it was formerly attached.

            The Gruesome Garden presents what may have been Ajax/Farrell's most off-the-wall idea ever (and that's saying something) - killer mandrake roots.

    Reprinted from Haunted Thrills #9 (Ajax, May 1953)

            Death Dance is the first Pulah" story reprinted by Eerie. These were reprints of stories featuring the jungle girl Rulah, who had first appeared in Fox Features' Zoot Comics in 1947. The title was eventually renamed after the jungle girl, Matt Baker was the artist most associated with Rulah. A number of these stories were reprinted by Robert W. Farrell in various issues of Voodoo. It is odd that they Eerie chose to change the name to "Pulah" when reprinting these stories. Perhaps this was done to avoid trademark restrictions with the name Rulah. It seems unlikely that it could be a copyright issue with the material itself since merely changing the character name would seem to afford no protection against copyright infringement (if Robert Farrell didn't own the copyrights himself). Despite the Baker art, I found the Pulah and other jungle stories among the worst that Eerie (and Ajax/Farrell) produced
            With its finale featuring a man's eyes pecked out by swans, Blade of Horror epitomizes the type of story which aroused such ire in the 1950s. Demon Fiddler is one of my all-time favorites from Ajax/Farrell.

            This issue illustrates one of the numbering quirks that makes collecting Eerie Publications frustrating. The previous issue was numbered v3n1. Given its cover date of January 1968, this seems to make sense as it was the first 1968 issue. Except that the first issue of volume 2 had borne a December 1966 cover date. It seems that perhaps Eerie had decided to start new volumes at the beginning of the year, as is the common practice and then changed their mind and decide to continue with the volume 2 numbering after all (they skipped v2n5, which makes some sense, but then skipped v2n7 as well, which doesn't). To top it off, they issued ANOTHER v3n1 in February of 1969. Starting with 1969, Eerie (for the most part) used a more standard numbering scheme, staring each volume with the new year and starring new volumes with issue #1 (except for volume 1, which always started with a higher number).  This issue also begins the common practice of including an ad on the inside back cover (for the Fass magazine Great West)

                The  last panel of page three of The Murder Pool is one of my favorite pre-code panels ever and I think it's even better in black and white. Stretching Things is, of course, one of the most well know pre-code horror stories because it was the first comic book story Steve Diko drew (though not the first he published). It was actually produced for Stanley Morse (of Gillmor fame) who then resold it to Iger for a profit.

Our Green-Eyed Princess of Dumbrille is one of my least favorite Ajax/Farrell efforts and this (along with the non-horror material they reprinted) represents Ajax at its worst (overall I find Ajax to be a middling pre-code publisher at their best when they tackle offbeat and bizarre themes).

    Reprinted from Fantastic Fears #3 (Sep 1953)
    A fruit company executive investigating the general of a mountain republic hears rumors that the general is a master zombie.

 

            With this issue a new (and in my opinion much superior) more cartoony style of cover art begins by Bill Alexander. Alexander's work is magnificent and is probably the single thing most people remember about Eerie. Morris, the Caretaker of Weird, is gone from his inside front cover spot replaced by a cutout horror mask. While Morris would no longer introduce any issues, he would appear (unnamed) in a number of reprinted one-page features.

    A ghost writer travels to a Central American country to secure the release of a political prisoner, only to find out that the country is ruled by voodoo practitioners.

 

            This issue features my all-time favorite Eerie Pubs cover. A zombie hippie (or is it a demon hippie?) with a severed head growing from the crown of his own head is in the act of dismembering a co-ed protester, while in the background are a trio of gleeful demon hippies (or is it zombie hippies?) holding signs saying "Down with violence" and "Love Not Hate". Dave O'Dell claims that Chic stone did the cover for this issue, but I find this questionable (see comment on Terror Tales v1n8).

            Ezra Jackson is now listed as art editor. This is (apparently) not a pseudonym for Myron Fass, as has been claimed in Eerie Publications' Wikipedia entry. Eerie researcher Mike Howlett claims that this is indeed the real comic book artist Ezra Jackson (and he ought to know). I am not sure how this rumor got started, but I suspect it came from a positing to The Claw's Eerie Publications website that appears to have been made by Countrywide editor Jeff Goodman.

            The quality seems to be slipping here as Eerie begins using dreary post-code reprints more often. Dave O'Dell claims that Chic stone did the cover for this issue, but I find this questionable (see comment on Terror Tales v1n8).

            I consider this the most significant issue in Eerie's history. This issue (and Witches Tales v1n9 which shipped the same month) usher in the most important change yet at Eerie and the most important change the publisher would ever see. With this issue, Eerie Publications really comes into its own and becomes what most people think of when they think of Eerie. Previous issues had witnessed a marked decline in quality with stories getting weaker and reprints becoming more and more common. It seems that they were running out of Ajax/Farrell material to reprint. That would change with these two issues. With them, Eerie moved from reprinting Ajax stories to reworking pre-code stories from other publishers. That itself is not overly significant. Far more important is that these stories feature entirely new by apparently newly-hired Eerie artists.

Of the two issues, this one is the more significant as it contains what has become Eerie's best-known single story, Chic Stone's incomparable Blood Bath (the only original art story to merit a mention in Overstreet). Despite its fame, and the fact that most people seem to think that it epitomizes Eerie's output, Blood Bath is in many ways atypical of their work. First of all, given the theme, the story is almost certainly original (though I suppose it is possible that it is a rework of an anti-marijuana story). It is one of just four stories Eerie did that is believed to be original (though not the first, nor even Chic Stone's first as his The Thing in the Cellar had appeared the pervious month). Secondly, the story is essentially plotless. A reluctant young hippie is talked into dropping acid. When he does so, he experiences a gore-filled trip of floating heads, pools of blood, and men shot to death. He comes out of it to find his severed hand nailed to the wall and his friends dismembered. The cops arrive. The end. I don't know whether this was intended as an anti-drug story or a spoof on anti-drug stories but it remains a gory classic and while not one of my favorites, it certainly left an impression on me as a pre-teen.

            This issue also features a second Stone story, The Slimy Mummy, singled out for praise in Stephen Sennitt's Ghastly Terror, where it is described as "…almost psychotically unbelievable…" Despite such acclaim, I find the story so-so. Unfortunately, after such a promising start, Chic Stone seems to have left Eerie.

            Also making his debut is Larry Woromay (The Blackness of Evil), another Atlas veteran newly hired by Myron Fass and Carl Burgos. While Stone would draw only a handful of stories for Eerie, Woromay would produce dozens during his roughly two-year stint with the company. 

            Dimension-Horror is another story where the art is very, very similar to the original (by Rudy Palais).

    A foreign correspondent makes a deal with death to extend his life as long as he can kill someone to die in his place.
  8. Debt of Fear - Reprinted from Weird v2n9

 

            This issue features excellent work from a pair of Eerie's most prolific artists, Dick Ayers and Oscar Fraga. Another Atlas veteran, Ayers is a legendary artist whose work includes the original Ghost Rider (for Magazine Enterprises) and work on Sg.t Fury, The Incredible Hulk and The Fantastic Four for Marvel. The splash panel of The Witch's House is Haunted provides an excellent example of Ayers' trademark at Eerie - the popping eyeballs. The classic Sewer Werewolves, however, is the better story. Oscar Fraga represents the other major source of Eerie artists - Argentina. Over a dozen Argentine artists would work for Eerie in the coming years, most of whom remain unknown to American readers. The Vampire Witch provides an excellent example of Fraga's work and makes use of one of the subjects he does best - witches. Demon appears to be the unsigned work of Antonio Reynoso.

After taking a huge step forward with the previous two issues, Eerie takes two steps back with this issue. Only two new stories are included with the rest of the issue made up of tepid reprints.

After Ajax/Farrell, Harvey was easily Eerie's most common source of material. Despite their reputation as kind of a poor-man's E.C., (or maybe it's because of it) they are one of my favorite pre-code publishers. Their most well-known artists were Bob Powell, Rudy Palais, and Howard Nostrand. Fans who know them mainly from characters like Richie Rich, Casper, and Hot Stuff might be surprised that Harvey even produced such material.

  7. Congo Terror - Reprinted from Tales of Voodoo v2n1
  8. Screams in the Night - Reprinted from Horror Tales v1n7

 

            Death is an Artist showcases some of the best work of one of Eerie's most prolific artists, Argentine Walter Casadei. Casadei was a mainstay at Eerie, He died in 1978 after a long illness. Antonio Reynoso (assuming I have the signature right) is perhaps Eerie's most well-known artist outside of Dick Ayers and Chic Stone. Unfortunately, he is one of handful of Eerie artists about whom I know nothing. I'm not even sure of the name or of whether or not he's Argentine. His work was characterized by heavy lines and extensive use of black..

            Feast For Vampires provides a good example of the kind of story that Mysterious Adventures did well. Published by Story Comics, Mysterious Adventure started out publishing fairly run-of-the-mill horror stories (though decent ones, in my opinion) before really coming into their own when they adopted an E.C.-like style in 1954.

            Satan's Warlock, an excellent example of the style of Ruben Marchionne, is also tied for the longest story Eerie ever did at ten pages. Many of these long stories came from the pages of Beware Terror Tales (technically "Beware! Terror Tales").Fawcett was one of the few pre-code publisher that regularly included longer stories, sometimes as long as 12 or 13 pages.

March 1972 marks the only time that all six of Eerie's titles came out in the same month. Why this was done, I don't know, but to accomplish this, Eerie published a number of titles in consecutive months. Eerie's titles were all officially bi-monthly and prior to this had staggered their publication dates. This month, they bucked that trend. One effect of this is that Weird, Tales of Voodoo, Terror Tales, and Horror Tales all published seven issues in 1972.

With this issue, the familiar "Told in new chilling picto-fiction" tag line disappears from the cover, replaced in this issue with "Space Encounters" The issue also featured a sci-fi themed cover and a number of sci-fi stories. Probably Eerie's attempt to cash in on the success of Star Wars, The cover appears to be the only cover from the post-1975 period that wasn't a reprint.

Tales From the Crypt

    Reprinted from Voodoo #4 (Ajax, Nov 1952)

    A Frenchman falls in love with a female ventriloquist - until he discovers her horrible secret.
  8. Horror Harbor (7p, Iger Shop)
    Reprinted from Haunted Thrills #8 (Ajax, Apr 1953)
    While staying at a cliffside house on the Cornish shore, a couple encounters a crazy woman living in an offshore shipwreck.

            As you can imagine, Eerie reportedly got in legal hot water over the title of this magazine and changed it to Tales of Voodoo with the next issue. The cover welcomes readers to the "old crone's crypt" and an unnamed horror host (presumably said old crone) introduces the issue on the inside front cover.  In terms of content, Experiment In Terror is the clear standout here to me. In this delightfully wicked tale, a misshapen gnome of a scientist is convinced that the will to survive is stronger than love. He finds a young couple in need of money and gets them to agree to his twisted plan. He will lock them in a cage and starve them until one of them admits that hunger is stronger than love. The couple is determined to prove the professor wrong (plus, they really need that money) and the professor THINKS he gets the last laugh when they prove him right by turning into rapacious animals. Until, that is, he gets stuck in the bars of their cage and the pair chews his legs off. Sick? Yep. Wonderful? You betcha.

            For whatever reason, the first two issues of Tales of Voodoo include no masthead listing company personnel.

    Reprinted from Strange Fantasy #9 (Ajax, Dec 1953)
    A young man's body is taken over by his living, ravenous hair.

 

            A pretty solid issue. I enjoyed most every story with the exception of Congo Terror. Mask of the Monster is an interesting story in that the comic book editor in the story is female and Ajax/Farrell had one of the few female editors in the business - Ruth Roche (who'd also worked at Superior and Gilberton, on issues from which Ajax/Farrell reprinted material). Whether or not the writer in the story is modeled after an Ajax writer is unknown. My favorite of the lot, however, is the wonderfully bizarre (some would say downright silly) Hair Yee-eeee. The script by Bruce Hamilton (who also wrote Stretching Things) tells the story of Pat, who finally decides to get his long hair cut after the other kids begin calling him a sissy. As soon as the barber makes the first cut, however, Pat lets out a scream of pain and realizes his hair is alive. As he matures to young adulthood, he sprouts hair all over his body, putting a damper on his love life (one date cuts things off abruptly saying, perhaps unaware of the connotation, that she doesn't want to "…hold hands with a boy who has hair on his palms.") As Pat's hair grows, so does his appetite, but no matter how much he eats, he LOSES weight (his hair is feeding on him, you see). Disgusted, he heads to the mountains to live as a hermit, shedding his clothing and turning into a giant furball. His exile doesn't last long, as he returns to civilization to slake his thirst for human flesh. He goes on a murderous rampage until police chase him (it?) into a warehouse where they douse it with hair remover (!!!) reducing him to a pile of dandruff. Steve Ditko drew some of the panels for the story (a classmate from the Cartoonists and Illustrators School may have done some of the rest).

    Adana the jungle girl travels to an island to try to steal a magic drum called the drum of life.
  7. Witch's Brand (8p, Iger Shop)
    Reprinted from Strange Fantasy #5 (Ajax, Apr 1953)
    A woman becomes a witch after wearing a locket that she inherited from an ancestor killed for witchcraft three centuries before.

 

            Hammer of Evil is a solid story, and one that bears more than a passing resemblance Warren's Bruce Jones/Berni Wrightson classic Jenifer. The story also contains a hint of misogyny. In one scene, the scientists punishes the cave woman he has revived for killing and eating his dog only to have her fall to his feet in worship ("She expects to be beaten! She LIKES it!" he marvels). When he begins to pull her around by the hair, she is in ecstasy. In another story in the issue, One Very Wide Coffin, a man gets sick of his lazy, overweight, domineering wife and decides to kill her. Such subtle sexism was a frequent theme of pre-code horror where wives were depicted as shrewish nags who always got their comeuppance in the end.

  8. The Ghostly Guillotine - Reprinted from Weird v2n4

 

            After a promising start, things begin going downhill. As was often the case when Eerie printed stories from Ajax/Farrells post-code titles, the version of Locked in Time here has been altered from the version that appeared in Midnight (adding bats, ghostly figures etc) but it is not the pre-code version. It is more like a version halfway between the pre-code version and the code-approved version.

            The decline reaches a nadir with a first for Eerie - an issue consisting entirely of material that had already been printed in earlier issues (though they did retitle the first story - a practice that would become rampant in later issues). Another question is why they began reprinting material when there were still a number of Ajax stories they hadn't gotten to yet. Perhaps they lacked the original art for those stories.

    A honeymooning couple spend the night in a haunted mansion, where the wife is transformed into a murderous witch.

 

            For reasons unknown, Tales of Voodoo seems to have undergone a four-month gap between this issue and the last with the expected November 1969 issue not appearing. Only three new stories here but one of them is a doozy. Chic Stone's unbelievable Voodoo Terror. Blood Bath is more well known and The Slimy Mummy drew praise from Stephen Sennitt but, for my money, this is Stone's best - a story unsurpassed in sheer brutality and gore. The splash panel has to be seen to be believed.

The Slimy Snakeman is one of my all-time favorites, probably because it in one of the handful of issues I had as a kid (and because it involves one of my favorite themes - the sideshow).

With this month's issues, Eerie begins printing text stories and articles along with its comics. The printing of text stories was standard in color comics as a way of qualifying for discount postage rates but I don’t know if this is why Eerie did so or not. In any event, the stories (like most everything else at Eerie) were not original. Most of them were either reprints of 19th century classics or stories culled from the pages of the pulps. Titles were almost always changed and authorship credit rarely given. Eerie also printed a number of non-fiction articles dealing with the unexplained. Many, if not all, of them were of recent vintage and may have been original material.

            The Faba who did the cover is the same Faba who did covers for Skywald. The woman on the cover is nearly identical (other than the hair color) to the woman who appears on the cover of Skywald's Scream #4 (art by Villanova) while the werewolf looks like the one on the cover of Eerie #48 (art by Manuel Sanjulian - thanks to Mike Howlett for this info) If this is the same Faba, the cover art may have been a Skywald reject purchased by Myron Fass.

            Vampire provides a rare example of a story that Eerie reworked that had previously been reworked by another pre-code publisher (in this case Charlton reworking a Harvey story).

            Terror Tales was the first of four new titles that would appear in 1969. Horror Tales would debut in June followed by Witches Tales and Tales From the Tomb in July, bringing the total number of titles to 6. Nightmare Merchant is the standout tale here, though Frigid Fear has its moments. On The Claw's Eerie website, a quote from Dave O'Dell (via Terry Beatty) indicates that Chic Stone did the cover for this issue, along with "the first issue" of Tales From the Tomb "Vol. 1 No. 8" , Weird v3n2, Weird v3n3, Terror Tales v1n8, and Terror Tales v1n9, but I question this information. Aside from the fact that there is no Tales From the Tomb v1n8 (he probably meant v1n6), the cover of Terror Tales v1n9 is signed by "Ander". A 2006 post by one "Creepy46" on the Collector's Society message boards also indicates Stone as the cover artist but I don't know If this is Dave O'Dell or not.

    An obituary writer investigates a funeral home where business seems to be going a little too well.

 

            Once again, the version of Phantom Express here is sort of half way between the code-approved version and the pre-code version. A number of additions were made including, in one panel, adding back in a version of the skeleton that had been removed for the code-approved version (the fact that the skeleton added wasn't the same as the original lends further credence to the idea that Ajax/Farrell altered there original artwork when creating the code-approved versions). Dream of Death omits two pages from the original version. The Unseen Terror is the only instance I've found so far of Eerie reprinting an Ajax/Farrell story that did not come from one of their horror titles.
            Dave O'Dell claims that Chic stone did the cover for this issue (see comment on Terror Tales v1n8).

            Vampire Flies is one of the best examples of Larry Woromay's warped style. After working for Atlas in the 1950s, Woromay got back into comics after long break in the late 1960s working for Charlton and doing a single story for Warren before coming to Eerie Publications in 1969. He only worked at Eerie until 1971 but was probably the most prolific of the American artists.

Eerie underwent some major changes in 1975. After their February issues, Eerie suddenly stopped publishing their horror titles. This was likely due to a collapse in the horror comic magazine market as a whole. Skywald, Marvel, and Atlas/Seaboard all stopped publishing in 1975 (though Warren continued). Some blame this on the market being saturated due to the glut of horror magazines released by Marvel. For a while, it must have looked as if Eerie had bitten the dust as well, but 14 months later, in June of 1976, they were back. But things were very different. Eerie had pared back production considerably. The number of titles was cut back to just three with Tales From the Tomb, Tales of Voodoo, and Witches Tales all being dropped. The three titles  that did remain were cut from bi-monthly to quarterly. Page count increased from 52 to 68 pages but price increased substantially from $0.75 to $1.25 ((except for Horror Tales, which went to 116 page issues and a price of $2,00). There were also massive changes in personnel. The masthead for this issue (the only post-1975 issue to include one) lists Myron Fass and Stanley Harris as publishers, Irving Fass as "executive director", Roy Mosny as editorial director, and Robert Califf and Roger V. Marshall as copy editors. Gone are Carl Burgos and Ezra Jackson. The layout of the table of contents also changes and the story synopses now seem more descriptive of the actual story contents. While the format of the post-1975 issues may have been new the stories weren't. While this issue appears to feature three new stories (though they may have been reprinted from one of the few pre-1976 issues I don't have) and (relatively) new artists Martha Barnes and Kato, subsequent issues would feature entirely reprinted material.

            Horror Tales' debut issue is a decent one. Screams in the Night is one of a handful of Nazi-themed stories by Ajax (as well as one of the handful of Hitler stories produced by pre-code publishers. Satan's Plaything features another of my favorite themes - killer toys. In The Crawling horrors, the Quetzalcoatl's name is misspelled, but a bigger mistake is that the Aztec god is found in a Mayan temple (such mistakes could often be found in Ajax stories). This might be a good time to mention Eerie's writing. One of the most commonly asked questions about Eerie Publications is "Who wrote this stuff?"  If the question is who at Eerie wrote this stuff the answer, basically, is "no one" since the scripts were all penned by pre-code authors (though someone at Eerie made minor changes to them). The many who have disparaged Eerie's writing would likely be shocked to find out that it is actually pre-code horror writing at which they are casting their aspersions. The one thing that Eerie staff did write were the story descriptions in the table of contents and here I must agree with the critics. The writing here was abysmal, filled with misspellings and bad grammar. Even worse, the descriptions often told you nothing about the story they were supposed to be describing. An example from this issue should suffice: "A bone cracking weirdie of torture and torment told to the sound of laughter!.....Yeech!" I'll leave it to you to guess which story that accompanied.

            This issue features a pair of departures for Eerie that give a taste of what is to come the following month. The Thing in the Cellar is perhaps the most significant Eerie story yet. Why? First, it is the first story since the debut story in the first issue of Weird that features new art. Even more significantly, it features art a new Eerie artist - veteran Atlas/Marvel inker Chic Stone (it is possible, if unlikely, that Stone did touch up work on reprinted material at Eerie prior to this). The third interesting thing about the story is that it is one of only four stories that Eerie printed that is did not come from a pre-code source (i.e. not a rework of a pre-code story). The story, however, is not entirely original. It first appeared as a one page-story (with the same title) in the June 1962 issue of Boy Illustrated, a boy's magazine published by Stone (and Warren Spahn?) during his foray into magazine publishing. The magazine featured various "sick jokes, outlaws, sports, comics", puzzles, contests, and features aimed at young boys. It folded after just two issues.

            Also interesting is that three of the four stories that did not originate from pre-code sources were penned by Stone, leaving one to wonder if he insisted on doing his own material here. Also unusual is The Bloody Stream, which appears to be a straight reprint of The One that Got Away, making it one of only two non-Ajax stories I have found  that Eerie just reprinted (as opposed to reworking with new art).

    Reprinted from Strange Fantasy #8 [Ajax, Oct 1953]
    Terry Morgan digs for buried treasure near a rock said to be inhabited by the Manitou, an ancient Indian spirit.

 

Man-Beast is a deeply disturbing tale in which a man is held captive by a male baboon who seems (shudder) to have fallen in love with him (actually, the script says that the baboon just "befriended" him but the imagery disturbs nonetheless). The splash panel offers an example of one of Eerie's favorite methods of goring up a story - the addition of a hole in the cheek revealing the teeth underneath.

Dave O'Dell claims that Chic stone did the cover for this issue, but I find this questionable (see comment on Terror Tales v1n8).

The debut of Weird Worlds marked the beginning of a sci-fi trend at Eerie. This title and its sister title Strange Galaxy, launched in February of 1971 concentrated on sci-fi stories (albeit still pulled from pre-code sources). In addition, ALL of their titles would switch almost exclusively to sci-fi themed covers beginning in 1971. This was likely an attempt to cash in on the exploding interest in all things space following the 1969 moon landing. In any event, Eerie's sci-fi "era" didn't last long. By the end of the year, the two sci-fi titles, as well as the sci-fi covers, would be gone.

            The source of the sci-fi covers is a puzzle, as the style is markedly different from Eerie's other covers. The cover  of Strange Galaxy v1n8 was reprinted from the sci-fi pulp Fantastic (Stories) v19n2 (Ultimate Publishing Co, Feb 1970), but the artist is unknown. A series of posts on the Collectors Society message board indicates that some of the Eerie sci-fi covers may use art from the covers of old German Perry Rhodan sci-fi novels by artist Johnny Bruck, but this appears to be speculation based on the similarity of the art style and the fact that some of the creatures appearing on the Eerie sci-fi cover appear identical to figurines based on the German Perry Rhodan series..

The first of two new titles added by Eerie in 1979. Both were published under the Modern Day Periodicals banner but this was clearly the same company. While most of the stories in these issues were non vampire tales, Eerie does seem to have made some effort in the early issues to at least lead off with a vampire story or two. The launching of new titles might seem to signal the start of a new era at Eerie. Unfortunately, it doesn't, as both titles feature the same reprinted stories that Eerie had been running for years.

And with this issue, Eerie Publications comes to an end. The launching of this title would seem to indicate that Eerie's horror output was selling well despite the reprinted material, but three years later, Eerie's horror magazines are gone entirely. In point of fact, the entire horror magazine market (and the horror comic market in general) was collapsing. Industry leader Warren (which by now was publishing a mix of tepid serials like The Rook and original sci-fi and fantasy stories) would leave the market the following year. Fass' magazine empire would continue, but the comics were gone and, for decades, largely forgotten.

Other Eerie Publications/Modern Day Periodicals Titles

 

            While Myron Fass produced hundreds of magazines under his various publishing imprints (CountryWide Publications, Tempest Publications, Fair Publishing Ltd etc.), the Eerie Publications/Modern Day names were used mostly on horror comics. There were, however, a few exceptions:

 

  1. Strange Unknown, v1n1 (May 1969) - unexplained phenomena magazine.
  2. Strange Unknown v1n2 (July 1969)
  3. Dracula Classic (1976) - move monster magazine.
  4. Revenge of Dracula (Winter 1977) - monster movie magazine (though it also contained a reprint of J. Sheridan le Fanu's classic vampire novella Carmilla.)
  5. Frankenstein Classic (Feb 1977, Modern Day) - movie monster magazine.

 

 

Note that Sea Monsters, sometimes listed as an Eerie publication, listed Countrywide as its publisher.

 

Finally, while published by Fass under the World Famous Periodicals imprint, the following publications featured covers and numbering in the Eerie style, though they reprinted crime instead of horror comics.

  1. Murder Tales v1n10 (Nov 1970)
  2. Tales of the Killers v1n10 (Dec 1970)
  3. Murder Tales v1n11 (Jan 1971)
  4. Tales of the Killers  v1n11 (Feb 1971)

Appendix A: Eerie Publications Checklist

 

            Eerie Publications numbering system and production schedule were baffling to say the least. Volumes (at least initial volumes) started with #7, #10 etc. Numbers were skipped, other numbers appeared twice and on and on. In addition, thee is no definitive list of exactly which issues were produced. The following list is culled from my personal collection, the Grand Comics Database, and (primarily) Gene Broxson's Eerie Publications checklist which appeared in the fanzine From the Tomb #23.

 

            All known issues of each titles are listed, so if an issue # is skipped, it isn't known to exist (a list of skipped issues appears at the end of each title). If an issue # is repeated, the issues will be distinguished with a and b, though these letters do not appear on the issues themselves. Note too that some issues (i.e. Weird v3n1a) were issued out of order.

Appendix B: Eerie Artists and Personnel

 

            For more detailed information on Eerie artists, see Howlett's The Weird World of Eerie Publications. Many art credits are taken from this source, as is all of the info on Bill Alexander.

A "[?]" after the name means that I am not entirely sure that I have identified the correct artist.

 

ARTISTS

Dan Adkins

Artist who may have inked a pair of Ayers stories

 

Bill Alexander

While Alexander strictly did covers, he is perhaps the quintessential Eerie artist. Alexander was African-American, a rarity for a comic artist in the 1940s when he started his career doing record label art for Miltone records. He later did a comic strip for the Los Angeles Sentinel and worked drawing bondage comics for Irving Klaw. Perhaps his most well-known work was the cover art he did for a series of "sleaze books" (softcore porn novels) published  by Satellite Distribution under various imprints (Wee Hours, Nitey Nite, After Hours, First Niter). He continued in the same vein when he came to Countrywide in 1968, drawing strips for the men's magazines Jaguar and Duke and with Star Distributors after leaving.

 

Dick Ayers (1924-)
The story of Ayers' legendary career it too long to go into here. He started in the field in 1947 and has continued to the present. His most famous work came at Magazine Enterprises (the original Ghost Rider) and Atlas/Marvel (where he worked on westerns, horror, the Human Torch, Sgt. Fury, the Hulk, Captain America, Kamandi, Fantastic Four and many others). He also did horror work for Ace (1 story), ACG (1 story), Skywald (1 story), and Charlton.

Ayers may be the best known (and loved) Eerie artist (though Chic Stone may take the former position). His art was wonderfully gory, especially his trademark popping eyeballs (which he refused to do at first, until Myron Fass urged him to go and watch Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch). He worked at Eerie from 1969 to 1971.

 

Martha Barnes [Argentina]

Barnes, whose career started in 1949 and lasted until at least the mid 1970s, was one of the few female cartoonists in Argentina (if not the only one). Like most, if not all, of Eerie's Argentine artists, she worked for the Editorial Columba publishing house.  Also like many of Eerie's Argentine artists, Barnes work appears in the Italian annual comics Lanciostory Anno and Skorpio Anno. GCD also lists a "Martha Barnes" as the artist of a story in DC's G.I. Combat #276 (1985), though it may not be the same person.

 

Behan

Unknown artist whose signature appears on the cover of Terror Tales v5n6.

 

Johnny Bruck

Bruck was a German artist who did cover art for the German versions of the Perry Rhodan series of sci-fi novels. A posting on the Collectors Society message boards in 2006 identifies him as the possible artist of Eerie's sci-fi covers of 1971, but this appears to be speculation.

 

Carl Burgos (1916-1984)

Burgos' work is, of course, legendary. He started in comics producing art for Harry A. Chesler's shop in the late 1930s and was one of the main artists (along with Bill Everett) at Funnies Inc. where he created his most enduring character the original Human Torch (for which he wrote and drew). Burgos is most well known for his work at Timely/Atlas/Marvel where he freelanced off-and-on over the years with his last work for them (and his last know original comics work) appearing in 1966. Carl worked at Eerie from the beginning until 1975 (at least) and was later an editor at Harris Publications.

 

Walter Casadei (1924-1978) [Argentina]

Born in Italy, Casadei moved to Argentina in 1948 where he worked for the Argentine navy and also began drawing cartoons for magazines. He started in comics in 1957, soon joining the Columba publishing house where he created the character Star Kenton.
One of Eerie's most prolific artists, Casadei's work was characterized by the doe-eyed look he gave his female characters. Casadei died in 1978 after years of health problems.

 

Hector Castellon

Castellon was an American artist. His art appeared on the cover of the June 1966 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction.  He did a trio of stories for Warren in 1967 and '68 and did some work for Charlton in the 1970s.

 

Mariana(?) Cerchiara [Argentina]

 

Carlos Clemen [Argentina] [?]

Clemen's career began way back in 1931 drawing for a number of Argentine publications. He then moved onto serials like "El Mundo Perdido" an "La Isla  Misterioso" (The Mysterious Island). He co-created the first Argentine sci-fi series "Robert Ax, Medico del Siglo XXX " (Robert Ax, Doctor of the 30th Century). He also drew the series "Torpedos Humanos", a series later continued by Walter Casadei.

 

Enrique Cristobal  [Argentina]

Cristobal produced sci-fi and western comic strips for the magazine Patrulla, published by Editorial Columba in the 1950s as part of the SyndiPress artist team. He later worked on the World War II spy series "Captain Lazaro".

 

Enright (?)

A name that appears on a single cover. The name may be "Enrigh".

 

Faba

Faba's name appears on a single cover. This is the same Faba who did covers for Skywald. His cover work also appeared on some Australian reprints from Murray as well as some Spanish Skywald reprints. He is generally listed as a "Spanish" artist but given the sketchy nature of the details, this may be inaccurate. There is also a female Spanish painter Faba, but given the birth year (1957), it seems too young to be the same person..

In any event, the cover may have been a Skywald reject purchased by Myron Fass.

 

Fernand [Argentina] - Fernando Fernandez Eyre

It appears that this may be another Argentine artist. His work may have appeared in the Argentine publication Intervalo.

 

Angel A. Fernandez [aka Lito Fernandez] (1941-) [Argentina] [?]

Fernandez started in comics in 1958 and published mostly under the name Lito Fernandez. His work also appeared in the American magazine Comix, Britain's Daily Mail and the Italian annual comics LanciostoyAnno and Skorpio Anno. This may be the same artist who signed his work Fernand, but I don't think so.

 

Fernando Fernandez - see Saldana

 

Oscar Fraga [Argentina]

Fraga worked at Editorial Columba in the 1960s, where his work appeared in Intervalo.

Fraga and Antonio Reynoso were probably Eerie's most prolific artists and Fraga may have been #1. He seemed especially adept at drawing witches and occult themes.

 

Tono Gallo [Argentina]
A well-known Argentine cartoonist

 

Ezra Jackson

While a number of sources, including the Wikipedia entry on Eerie Publications, report that Ezra Jackson is a pseudonym for Myron Fass, this is apparently incorrect. Researcher Mike Howell has determined that this was indeed Ezra Jackson, the American comic book artist.

It is believed that this is the same Ezra Jackson who worked as an inker at Hillman (publishers of Airboy in which the original Heap debuted) in the 1940s. Jackson also did pencils for the African-American history series Golden Legacy in the 1960s.

 

Kato  - Oscar Campdepadros [Argentina]

 

Troy Lanz

This name appears (with that of William Alexander) on tombstones on a pair of covers.

 

Luke

A name that appears on a pair of covers.

 

Alberto Macagno (1941-), [Argentina]

Alberto started working in comics in 1967 at the Columba publishing house in Argentina. He continued in the field at least through the 1980s, working on series such as Gran Prix, Los Amigos, Holbeck, Il Golem, and Diario di Bordo (the last two with Domingo Mandrafina)

 

Domingo Mandrafina (1944-) [Argentina]

Mandrafina didn't get into comics until late (1969) but went on to become perhaps the best known of Eerie's Argentine artists (at lest in Europe), going on to success at magazines such as Skorpio and L'Eternauta (Italian) and Spain's Toutain Editeurs' line of comics as well as American work for the Dark Horse titles Dragger and Race of Scorpions.

 

Ruben Marchionne [Argentina]

Another Columba veteran, Marchionne's work included the series' Dax and Tres por la Ley, which appeared up to the late 1990s..

 

Eduardo Miranda

So far I've only found one story signed by him.

 

Cirilo Munoz [Argentina?]

While a legion of sources have identified this artist as Carlos Munoz, this is incorrect (Carlos Munoz was a comic artist, but this is not his work). Instead, it is Cirilo Munoz. It appears that Munoz's work appeared in Argentine series like Intervalo and the western series "Randall the Killer".

 

Oscar A. Novelle (1920-1978) [Argentina] - see also Romero

Novelle was one of the earliest of the Argentine artists, starting his career in the 1940s. In 1948 he drew an Argentine version of The Saint. Novelle did extensive work for a number of U.S. horror comics publishers, including Warren, D.C., Charlton, and especially Gold Key.

 

 

Oswal [Osvaldo Walter Viola] (1935-) [Argentina]

Oswal's work included comic book adaptations of David Copperfield and Robinson Crusoe and the creation of a number of Argentine titles. His most well-known work may be the character Sonarman, which he drew for a decade.

 

Romero

Pen name for stories done by team of Torre Repiso (pencils) and Oscar Novelle (inks)

 

Torre Repiso [Argentina] - see also Romero

Another Argentine comic, Repiso work appears in Charlton romance comics in the early 1970s and in the Italian comics annuals Lanciostory Anno and Skorpio Anno in the late 1970s/

 

Antonio Reynoso

If Dick Ayers isn't Eerie's most well-known artist, then Antonio Reynoso might be. Sadly, I know nothing about him and even the name is uncertain. Is it simply "Antonio Reynoso" without the A? Is it "Reynosa"? Is it a pseudonym? Your guess is as good as mine.

 

Felix Saborido [Argentina]

Saborido started in comics in 1964, if not earlier and his work appeared in a number of European and Argentine magazines and comics. He was apparently known for being able to imitate the style of other artists.

 

Saldana (Fernando Fernandez)

Cover artist for Tales of Voodoo v4n6.

 

Leandro Sesarego [Argentina]

 

Oscar Stepancich [Argentina]

I known next to nothing about this artist, save his name. A GCD search shows that he (assuming it’s the same person, and that it is a "he") penned two romance stories as "Oscar Stepancich" for Charlton in 1972 in Romantic Story #121 and Teen Confessions #74.

 

Chic Stone (1923-2000)

Chic started in comics in 1939 at age 16 as an apprentice at the legendary Iger Shop. In the 1940s, he worked at Lev Gleason, Fawcett, and Timely before leaving the comics field for magazines and commercial art in the 1950s. He returned to comics with ACG (American Comics Group) in the early 1960s before moving on to his most well-known role as an inker for Marvel (especially on X-Men, Thor, and Fantastic Four. His later career included work at DC, Dell, ACG, Skywald and Archie Comic's Red Circle line.

While Stone only did a handful of stories for Eerie, his work may be the most well known of all due to his infamous "Blood Bath" - the only Eerie story to merit mention by title in Overstreet. Stephen Sennitt's Ghastly Terror calls "The Slimy Mummy"  "…almost psychotically unbelievable…"  but "Voodoo Terror" may top them both in terms of sheer unmitigated gore.

Dave O'Dell claims that Chic stone did a number of cover for Eerie, but I find this questionable (see comment on Terror Tales v1n8).

 

Xavier Villanova

An artist mainly known for his cover work at Skywald

 

Larry Woromay (1927-2007)

Woromay started his career just as the pulps were fading out, then entered the comic field where he did horror work for Atlas, Ace, Gillmor, and E.C. in the 1950s. In the 1960s, he worked for Charlton, ACG and did a single story for Warren in 1967. He also worked as a painter and spent 20 years as director of the Nassau Puppet Theater on Long Island.

Woromay's Eerie Publications work bears a resemblance to that of E.C. legend Jack Davis, whom he admired. (One poster on The Claw's Eerie website even insisted that it WAS Jack Davis' art). It has an almost psychedelic quality.

 

Eugenio Zoppi (1923-2004) [Argentina]

Zoppi worked in comics since at least 1950 and his work appeared in Argentina, England, Chile, Italy, and the U.S. He contributed heavily to the Italian comic annuals Lanciostory Anno and Skorpio Anno.

 

AJAX/FARELL/IGER SHOP ARTISTS (and other reprint artists)

 

            As the Iger Shop used a house style, even the experts can't identify specific artists in most cases. The exceptions are artists that had unique styles or went on to later fame. Here is a brief list of known artists for the Iger Shop reprints.

 

Matt Baker (1921-1959)
Baker, of course, was a comics legend. His Ajax/Farrell work consisted of reprints of his earlier jungle/good girl stories.

 

Ken Battlefield

Another artist with a single story attributed to him. The bulk of his work appeared in Fawcett's Wow Comics in the 1940s.

 

L.B. Cole

Ditto Cole. Cole was mostly known as a cover artist, penning over 1,500 covers for a variety of golden age publishers as well as doing interior art for Holyoke, Gilberton, Ajax/Farrell. He was also a publisher at Star Comics, where he also did a number of covers.

 

Steve Ditko (1927-)

Like Baker, Ditko needs no introduction. His sole Ajax/Farrell work consisted of the story "Stretching Things" and some panels for the story "Hair Yee-eeee". The former was the first comic story he did (though not the first published). It was reportedly sold to Stanley Morse, who resold it to Iger.

 

Joe Doolin (1902-?)

Doolin started in the pulps in the 1920s, and his best known comic work was for Fiction House. The art attributions for Doolin come from New England Comics Buried Terror which attributed a handful of stories to Joe Doolin, Carl Burgos, and Robert Hayward Webb. The Doolin and Burgos attributions are HIGHLY questionable as neither was known to have ever worked at Iger Shop.

 

Myron Fass (1926-2006)
Fass has a single story questionably attributed to him. He is, of course, best known at the guiding force behind Eerie Publications. See the Brief History of Eerie Publications section for more information.

 

Tony Mortellaro

One of only two artists listed here whose work was not published by Ajax/Farrell. His sole credit consists of the story "The One That Got Away" from Gillmor's Strange Mysteries, reprinted by Eerie as "The Bloody Stream".

 

Rudy Palais (1912-2004)

A horror comics legend whose best known work appeared for Quality, Fiction House, and Harvey.

 

Jack Sparling (1916-1997)

Sparling was one of the co-creators of the Hap Hopper, Washington Correspondent comic strip. In his long career, he worked for Harvey, Charlton, DC, Gilberton, and Gold Key.

One of only two artists listed here whose work was not published by Ajax/Farrell. His sole credit consists of the story "A Matter of Taste" from Harvey's Witches Tales #19, which Eerie seems to have straight reprinted (though with changes) as "Yeech!"

 

Robert Hayward Webb

Unlike their attributions to Joe Doolin and Carl Burgos, Buried Terror's citations for Robert Hayward Webb seem much more solid, as Webb was known to have worked for the Iger Shop.

Appendix C: Artist Cross-Index

 

            This section cross-indexes stories and covers by artist. Only about 50-60% of stories were signed. For others, I tried to identify artists by comparing it to signed work, when possible. Some artists (Dick Ayers, Walter Casadei) I found easy to identify. Others less so. A question mark indicates an uncertain attribution (my confidence on these ranges from just over 50% to 90%). A double question mark indicates a VERY uncertain attribution and many of these may be incorrect. Stories are listed alphabetically by artist. Only the first appearance of a given story is listed here. If a story was reprinted with a different title, however, it is listed under both titles. (to find where a story was reprinted and with what titles, see Appendix D). Since I did not include a reprint index for covers, this list includes reprinted covers (indicated with "[R]"). "[ill]" indicates illustrations for a text story. Most of these were done by Ezra Jackson and I suspect all may have. Unsigned text story illustrations are indicated with a double question-mark.

Appendix E: Pre-code Rework/Reprint Cross-Index

 

            This section lists the original sources for stories that Eerie either reprinted (indicated by "rp") or reworked. Stories are listed by pre-code publisher, then by title, then by issue number.

First the pre-code title, issue, date, and story title are indicated. This is followed by the first issue in which Eerie reworked or reprinted the story and the new title Eerie gave it. If a story was reprinted by Eerie with multiple titles, only the first instance is given (the titles of the reprinted versions are listed separated by a slash). To find other instances, see Appendix D. If a story was reworked multiple times by Eerie with different art, each instance is listed separately.

            This section is still somewhat incomplete but will be completed as I continue to fill in gaps in my pre-code horror collection.

 

Title Abbreviation Key


HT - Horror Tales

SG - Strange Galaxy

TFTC - Tales From the Crypt

Ace

While Ace produced 97 pre-code issues over five titles, Eerie only reworked stories that appeared in Web of Mystery. They did do stories from The Beyond and Challenge of the Unknown, but only from the few issues that were reprinted in Web of Mystery. This was actually typical of Eerie. With a few exceptions (primarily Harvey) if they reworked material from a pre-code publisher, they generally seem  to  have done so from only one of their titles.

Appendix F: Miscellaneous Lists and Trivia

 

 

My 5 favorite Ajax/Farrell reprints

  1. Hair Yee-eee (Tales of Voodoo v2n1) - Some may find it downright silly, but I love this whacked out tale of a boy whose hair is a living being.
  2. Nightmare Merchant (Terror Tales v1n7) - One of Ajax's best with an excellent plot about a couple who find that their new home is on a blood delivery route for vampires
  3. Stretching Things (Weird v2n8) - This Ditko classic may be early, but it's my favorite of his pre-code horror stories.
  4. Experiment in Terror (Tales From the Tomb v1n10) - From the sick premise of a doctor starving people to see if hunger is stronger than love to the gruesome ending, this one's a delight.
  5. Terror Below (Weird v3n1a) - While the story is so-so, I include this one for seer gore. Where else but pre-code horror could you see people eaten alive by crabs?

 

My 10 favorite original art stories

  1. Screaming Hell (Cirilo Munoz, Horror Tales v7n1) - A favorite not primarily because of the art or the story (though I found both excellent) but because this one scared the wits out of me as a 10-year old. I didn't have many Eerie magazines as a kid, but the ones I did, I remembered. I could still recall details of this story 30 years after I read it. Domingo Mandrafina also took a turn at this one, but I prefer the Munoz version.
  2. The Slimy Snakeman (Larry Woromay?, Tales of Voodoo v3n2) - Another one I remember reading as a kid. This one also features one of my favorite scenes, the carnival sideshow. I also remember feeling really sorry for the monster at the end.
  3. Voodoo Terror (Chic Stone, Tales of Voodoo v3n1) - Blood Bath and The Slimy Mummy seem to have more fans, but for sheer gore, give me this Chic Stone classic.
  4. Swamp Monsters (Dick Ayers, Tales From the Tomb v2n2) - A story that doesn't really showcase Ayers' art, as there are too few panels of pure gore
  5. Satan's Warlock (Ruben Marchionne, Weird v5n5) - While they are not very well liked by most fans, Fawcett is one of my favorite pre-code publishers and this is one of my favorite stories of theirs. And I like Marchionne's art better than the original.
  6. Food For Ghouls (?, Tales From the Tomb v2n6) - A typical example of Mysterious Adventures at its best demonstrating one of their trademark (OK, actually it was E.C.'s trademark) gore endings.
  7. The Sewer Werewolves (Dick Ayers, Weird v4n1) - It wasn't the best of the pre-code monsters-in-the-Paris-sewers stories, but Ayers' art makes up for it.
  8. Satan's Blood Bath (Alberto Macagno, Tales From the Tomb v4n1) - One that really makes use of the carnival theme. Plus I love the panel where the protagonist encounters his transformed daughter.
  9. Horror With Fangs (Fernand, Tales of Voodoo v7n6) - I love the idea that grocery stores bring out their vampire merchandise in the wee hours of the morning.
  10. Valley of Hell (Martha Barnes?, Terror Tales v7n1) - Barnes didn't do much work for Eerie, and I liked what she did, but it's the plot of this one, rather than the art, that I enjoy most.

 

My 5 favorite Eerie covers

  1. Weird v3n2 (May 1969, Bill Alexander) - A wonderful combination of gore and humor.
  2. Weird v5n1 (Feb 1971) A surgical team operates on a man who has turned into a horrid red monster.
  3. Weird v3n1b (Feb 1969, Bill Alexander) - Another Alexander classic (if it is him). the red background works perfectly with the cartoony art.
  4. Witches Tales v1n7 (July 1969) - A classic gore cover. Plus the little one-eyed creature cracks me up
  5. Terror Tales v6n2 (Apr 1974, Oscar Novelle?) - Novelle's covers always featured bright colors that didn't always work for me. This one did.

 

Questions

 

1. From which pre-code publishers did Eerie use the most material?

 

Following are the publishers from which Eerie reprinted/reworked material, along with the approximate number of Eerie stores that were drawn from theses sources. Note that in these totals, some Eerie stories are counted under more then one publisher (i.e when Ajax reprinted Comic Media material or material from earlier non-horror publishers like Fox and Universal). If a story was reprinted by Eerie multiple times with different titles and the same art, it is only counted once.

Listed in descending order by number of stories:

 


Ajax/Farrell        272

Harvey              193

Ace                  61

Comic Media     42

Story                41

Quality              34

Gillmor              25

Avon                16

Prize                 15

Trojan               10

Toby                 10

Standard           11

Fawcett             7

St. John            7

Star                  5

ACG                 4

Fiction House    4

Superior            4

Gilberton           3

Universal           2+

Fox                  1+


 

 

2. Who were Eerie's most prolific artists?

 

The following list includes the artists to whom I've credited a dozen or more stories and the number of stories I've attributed to them. These numbers are very tentative as many of the art identifications are speculative. Unlike the other lists, in this list if a story was reprinted multiple times with the same art and a different title, it is counted multiple times.

 


  1. Antonio Reynoso (88)
  2. Oscar Fraga (78)
  3. Walter Casadei (70)
  4. Cirilo Munoz (61)
  5. Larry Woromay (39)
  6. Dick Ayers (30)
  7. Enrique Cristobal (29)
  8. Ruben Marchionne (24)
  9. Alberto Macagno (19)
  10. Domingo Mandrafina (19)
  11. Oscar Stepancich (17)
  12. Torre Repiso (16)

 

Note that this does not include stories credited generally to "Iger Shop" (202). If Ezra Jackson's text illustrations were counted, he would rank in the top 3. If Oscar Novelle's cover work were included, he would also make the list.

 

3. Which stories did Eerie reprint the most?

 

  • Eerie reprinted The Dead Demons 9 times (technically, they printed it once then reprinted it 8 more times).
  • Heads of Terror , Satan's Cat, and Werewolf [W v4n4] were reprinted 8 times each.
  • The Vampire Lives, Vampire [WT v2n5], Devil's Plague, Dead Witch, and The Blackness of Evil were reprinted 7 times each.

 

Note that if a story is reprinted with the same art and a different title, this is included in the reprint totals but if it is reprinted with different art it isn't

 

At the other end of the spectrum, there were a number of stories that Eerie printed only once. (though it may seem like they reprinted every story multiple times).

 

4. What story titles did Eerie reuse the most?

 

Eerie Publications had the annoying habit of printing multiple stories with the exact same title. The most extreme examples are the following.

 

  • "Vampire" was used for six different stories. In addition, "The Vampire" was used for two stories, "The Vampires" for two, and "Vampires" for one.
  • "Monster" was used for five different stories and " The Monster" for another five. "The  Monsters" was used for one story.
  • "The Mummies was used for five different stories. In addition, "Mummies" and "The Mummy" were used for one story each.
  • "Werewolf" was used for five different stories and "The Werewolf" for one.
