Craig Yoe has been putting out an incredible line of books over the years, covering many of the more obscure comic artists from decades past. Artists such as Basil Wolverton, Bob Powell, Tom Sutton and publications like Eerie have been shared here in the past.
Included is a cover gallery of the horror line of books that he's been publishing which can be purchased directly at http://yoebooks.com but many of these should also be available in all self respecting comic and book stores.
Happy Halloween! On this day of monsters at The House of Monster Brains I offer you the many grotesque and creature ridden covers of Eerie Publications, enjoy!
"Eerie Publications was a publisher of black-and-white horror-anthology comics magazines. Less well-known and more downscale than the field's leader, Warren Publishing (Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella), the New York City-based company was one of several related publishing ventures run by comic-book artist and 1970s magazine entrepreneur Myron Fass. Titles published during their 15 years of operation included Weird, Horror Tales, Terror Tales, Tales from the Tomb, Tales of Voodoo, and Witches' Tales. All of these magazines featured grisly, lurid color covers.
New material was mixed with reprints from 1950s pre-Comics Code horror comics. Writer/artist credits seldom appeared, but included Marvel Comics penciller/inkers Dick Ayers and Chic Stone, as well as Fass himself, with brother Irving Fass and Ezra Jackson serving as art directors. Long-time Golden Age comics producer Robert W. Farrell had the title of publisher. Golden Age great Carl Burgos, creator of the original Human Torch, was editor;" - quote source
A recently published book on Eerie Publications titled "The Weird World of Eerie Publications: Comic Gore That Warped Millions of Young Minds" is available through Amazon here.
And I couldn't finish this series of posts without mentioning the amazing animated short bringing to life so many of the fantastically grotesque, colorful and bizarre creatures from these monster infested comic covers.
This animated short was created by Jason of Scar Stuff. See the original post here.
