Go click "Add To Cart" first, then come back and read this! Seriously...

You are completely wasting your time reading this if you have not yet clicked "Add to Cart".
Go. Do it now. Come back when you're done.
I'll wait.
Done? Good.
Now let me tell you what an absolute thrill you are in for!
Some of the artwork found in those Warren Magazines of the sixties and seventies, is among the greatest ever produced for the comic medium. The names are legendary; we know them all.
Some of the best artwork done during that heady time was by a guy named Berni Wrightson, who subsequently put the "e" back on his first name.
Mr. Wrightson is one of our greatest living comic artists, and some of HIS best work was seen in these pages.
So...take EVERYTHING he did for Warren, in a ridiculously affordable but lovingly produced package...and you have one of the archival collections of the year.
You will sit goggle-eyed and astonished at the brushwork here, beautifully reproduced on thick stock.
Stories I can remember as if I read them yesterday are here. "The Black Cat", "Jenifer", "The Pepper Lake Monster", "Nightfall", "Cool Air"...and to have "The Muck Monster" in brilliant, lurid color is a treat in and of itself.
The exquisite frontispieces from Creepy and Eerie are all here too.
There are a few surprises here as well; the context of which are illuminated by a heart-tugging introduction by Bruce Jones. Definitely read it before you start. It's well worth your time.
For fans of Creepy and Eerie, this is a must-buy. I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied.

Format:Hardcover
Dark Horses's collected editions of classic horror comics continues with this edition of Creepy classics. Bernie Wrightson, best known for co-creating Swamp Thing with Len Wein, is one of the most prolific artists/personalities in comic books in the past five decades, and this collection wonderfully displays why that is. Featuring tales including Poe's "The Black Cat", "The Muck Monster" (in color!), and "Jenifer"; the last story of which was turned into a Masters of Horror episode during its inaugural season. Wrightson's lush artwork is wonderfully remastered, and the stories themselves still manage to pack a visceral punch even today. All in all, this deluxe hardcover is gorgeously put together and deserves to have a place in your collection.

I first came to these stories after both Creepy and Eerie had been canceled for a few years, and Bruce Jones and Pacific Comics were really the only ones carrying the torch for 70s-style horror comics into the 80s, which was FINE BY ME. Having missed those glory days by a few years, I treasured in particular a series of colorized reprints of Mr. Wrightson's work entitled "Bernie Wrightson: Master of the Macabre." This fine book will cost you less than buying all of those issues today, and the reproduction of his art is much, much better here as well. Wrightson's imagination is ghoulish, humorous, passionate, and raised the art of horror storytelling to then-new heights. One of the best examples is the Jones/Wrightson classic "Jenifer": a fiendishly memorable look into sex, murder and obsession, recently filmed by horror maestro Dario Argento for the "Masters Of Horror" TV series. Even if you're already planning to buy every Creepy and Eerie Archive volume, this smaller book is worth the investment, as much love was lavished on every page. And it's a bargain, too.
