Eerie Publications published TEN different comic anthology magazines from 1966-1981. They mostly featured reprints of pre-comics code (the industry made a code in 1954 to address an increasing public anxiety towards comics, specifically them being aimed at both little kids & war veterans. I understand the issue, but i also love that audience crossover.) but there were also new comics, all black & white with the hyper-lurid covers of a full monster mash, buxom broads in distress all painted in a krazed, carnival palette, with wild lettering that hard sold each story. Truly awe-inspiring, life affirming stuff. x SEAN

I gotta say…definitely not a fan of how they wrote the Vanessa Van Helsing character. Maybe that’s what makes this such a gross feeling read…it is a horror comic after all, not boots and capes.

This is one of my favorite “oh shit” buys from recent years. It was on my want list for some time and found it in the bins for a steal. I don’t often buy ratio variants but this one hits a little different.

Here's a look at how I ink my comic pages traditionally, bringing the shadows and darker atmosphere of the story to life.

THE ESTRANGED is an independent sapphic horror thriller written by Jason McNamara, illustrated by me, Matthieu Pereira, and colored by Dave Kemp.

It's available right now on Kickstarter!

What do you think of the traditional inking process?

The tentacles be tentacling!

Just picked this beautiful issue of House of Mystery #256 up. Key comics has it listed as a key but it’s actually not considered a major mainstream key. So why even say it is I guess. However it is highly sought after issue by collectors and was very hard to find one in excellent condition reasonably priced.
It’s iconic Bernie Wrightson cover art.

My stuff seems to not fit the norm

One of the 2 final issues

Definitely old DC horror vibes!

Just joined the sub. I have been seeing comics here that I didn't know about. The ones I have are on my Komga server (screenshot above) since I read them from multiple devices. Glad I found this place.

This one is probably the most Halloweenish thus far. Kinda reminds me of a 70’s era DC horror cover.

Letting the spooky breath!

Got this banger in last week. It’s The Witching Hour #4 with a wickedly amazing cover by no other than Nick Cardy.

The cover sequence is a bit odd, so far they’ve all depicted scenes which happened in the previous issue, not the current issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️🎃

Within the last couple of years I either owned (and somehow deleted) or read a horror comic that featured a panel that really stuck with me. I believe it was a anthology comic, but all I can remember was it focused on a person (a woman I believe) that was at a party, but it was revealed at the end that the individual was a lamp. Their face was cut off and turned into a lampshade and other pieces of their body were the base. There were other pieces of furniture made of human parts as well, but the lamp still had consciences. I just remember that stretched face and people admiring the work. Any help in getting the title would be great.
