THE GREEN THING!


While not a faithful adaptation of Campbell's "Who Goes There?", this story from EC's WEIRD FANTASY#16 (November-December 1952) is considered to be influenced by it. The story is by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein and the art is by Joe Orlando.

CREEPY NO. 6 (PART 1)


This issue's cover is by Frank Frazetta from a layout by Roy Krenkel. EC alumni Reed Crandall, Joe Orlando, Angelo Torres, John Severin and Al Williamson contribute more great art, as well as Gray Morrow, and Alex Toth. Larry Ivie, Otto Binder, Ann Murphy and Bill Pearson add scripts along with Archie Goodwin's. An ad announcing EERIE is seen here for the first time (art by Torres). And don't forget to check out the "Dear Uncle Creepy" page for a fan letter by Frank Brunner.

Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" appears here with typical gorgeous linework by Crandall. Otto Binder's Adam Link series continues, and some really creepy-looking critters in Ivie and Morrow's "The Thing in the Crypt!".
