"MYSTERY" CREEPY AND EERIE COVER ARTIST


Warren cover artist H.B Harris seems to be a bit of an enigma as I have not found anything regarding his biographical information. His artistic contributions to Warren Publications are limited to only two covers, the CREEPY 1969 YEARBOOK and EERIE #20.

Both works are done in oils with image areas of approximately 14" x 17". The EERIE cover is currently available for bid at auction.

I used to abhor the CREEPY YEARBOOK cover image of the ghoul with the weird hairdo, but I have come to appreciate the perspective and the outright hideousness of it (besides being a swipe of a still from the Mexican horror film LADRON DE CADAVERES). Anything that wasn't Gogos, Frazetta or Sanjulian was strictly for the birds. The EERIE zombie cover is pretty nice as well.

Anyone with biographical data on Mr. Harris is welcome to comment.
