Beginning with this issue, the folks at Skywald took the plunge and started paying artists and writers to produce brand new stories in hopes of catching up to the Warren empire of CREEPY, EERIE and VAMPIRELLA. Stanley and Eerie publications pretty much had the market cornered on reprints, and I thought it was a wise business decision to hire some veterans to infuse some new blood -- as it were -- into horror comics magazines. The results became the beginning of the Skywald legend. Notable in this issue is the re-introduction of The Heap, the prototype for Marvel's Man-Thing and DC's Swamp Thing.
