Description
The Weird World of Eerie Publications is a collection of astonishingly red reproductions of the most spectacularly creepy covers and art from the infamous horror magazine. First published in 2010, this volume delves into the sordid background of Eerie Publications, a publisher notorious for its ultra-gory covers and exploitation of young readers. The magazine's editor, Carl Burgos, was a key figure in the industry, and his influence can still be seen today. However, his approach was not without controversy, and the magazine's production values were often low. Despite this, Eerie Publications managed to make a career out of producing content that was both shocking and influential. This book provides a unique insight into the world of Eerie Publications, featuring reproductions of many of its most iconic covers and artwork. With an introduction by Stephen R. Bissette, a comic artist who has worked on titles such as Swamp Thing and Taboo, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of horror comics.
