In the 1950's the legendary EC comics published shockingly gore-filled issues of Tales From the Crypt and Vault of Horror until outraged conservatives ran them out of business.

Fortunately, times changed and in the mid-sixties a man named James Warren revived restless corpse of comic book horror

First with Creepy Magazine in 1964, followed by the similar companion comic Eerie and the now infamous Vampirella, Warren brought the highest standards of storytelling and art to blood-chilling comics presented in a magazine format.

Frank Frazetta painted many of the covers, and the interior art was masterfully drawn in black and white pen and ink by artists if international acclaim.

Creepy was published until 1983, having delighted fans of the grotesque and macabre for 19 years. The magazine told original tales of horror, as well as offering in graphic form the stories of Poe, Lovecraft, Hawthorne and many more.
