"I wasn't really happy with the new DH Creepy/Eerie versions (too small, the whole Warren concept was about a MAGAZINE with those big expansive panels) so I'm launching a new magazine in 2014 titled "the Creeps" with some of the original Warren artists, Frank Brunner, Rich Buckler, Ken Kelly and more. Check out http://www.thecreepsmagazine.com for more details and HAPPY HAUNTING! - The Old Creep."
On a comic book forum way back in 2013, Richard Sala, aka "The Old Creep" shared his dissatisfaction with Dark Horse's resurrection of Warren's CREEPY and EERIE comics titles and announced his plan to publish his own, full-size magazine that would more faithfully follow the formatting of the originals. Twelve issues later, Mr. Sala has more than kept his promise by not only capturing the visual and editorial essence of the Warren magazines, but has recently secured national newsstand distribution as well.
Just this week, issue #13 was announced for pre-order. Advance orders seem to be the latest in small publishing marketing tactics to have some idea ahead of time of how many copies to print. It also helps the "buzz" of the 'zine, too. Sala's magazine offers a poster of the cover along with each pre-order as an incentive.
This issue has a macabre-ly whimsical cover by Richard Corben. Pre-order HERE.
