Excellent collection of short horror and supernatural stories that could very easily be part of the "Twilight Zone" TV show.
Stories are short (but to the point) and varied, you have everything from ghouls and vampires to greedy people, lunatics and murderers.

Art is great, I was especially thrilled to see works of Al Williamson - his work is very reminiscent of Alex Raymond. it is wonderful to see true masters (though not maybe fully established when magazine was started) working on black and show more white panels and accomplishing a lot with shadings and playing around with the light effects.

Highly recommended for all fans of truly beautiful comic art and very interesting short horror stories. show less

Horror comics in hardback! Gotta love it. Felt as if I was a kid again reading these stories. The artwork throughout is mostly very good with only the occasional of the mark drawing. The stories are typical, but fun (at least the majority), with many twists and turns in the endings. The nice part is that they are complete reprints including the letter pages so you can get the feel how people back in the day liked the magazine. This collection definitely allows a whole new generation of show more people to get a taste of the horror comic and I am sure will create a few new converts! Hmmm perhaps a horror comic comeback? Hmm might be pushing it!! show less

The best part are the ads/letters to the editor.

"I"m a girl but so what! I read and love CREEPY. I agree with Sam Morrell that Frank Frezetta should do the cover, but I like the dark colors better!"

From an ad for a ski mask:

"At last you can have your very own Hollywood MYSTERY-MAN type MASK. Use your mask to: Make a movie, with yourself starring as the 'Mysterious Avenger!'"

From Charles Darwin's "review" of a mailorder Venus Fly Trap:

"This plant, commonly called Venus Fly-Trap ... is one of show more the most wonderful in the world... It is surprising how a slight damp bit of meat... will produce these ... effects." show less
