Heads chopped off on a dissecting table, Brains boiling in a vat of chemicals, women with their clothes being torn off by horribly deformed creatures, and blood, lots of blood. These were the infamous images emblazoned on the covers of the Eerie Publications line of horror comic magazines in the 1960's and 1970's. Noted more for their covers than their content, Eerie Publications enjoyed the profits of filling their magazines with re-touched reprints from comics popular during the pre-code era, before horror was removed from all newsstand titles. But those covers . . .
Now, Eerie Pub's fanatic Mike Howlett, who published his previous book at Feral House, has assembled a complete collection of covers for Fantaco Enterprises. Available for pre-order, the book is scheduled for release in March.
From the publisher:
Superior quality hardcover edition with Smyth-sewn binding for permanence and durability.
The horror comics fans' dream book!!
By Mike Howlett, cover art by Bill Alexander with cover design by Jason Willis and book design by Jim Whiting.
SPECIAL NOTICE!! Everyone who preorders will receive a serial numbered book AND a specially designed set of ten full color Eerie Publications trading cards (one set per order), exclusive to this offer. The sets will not be available in stores.
Shrieking at you from the newsstands like garish sideshow banners, the notorious Eerie Publications magazines dared petrified comic readers of the 60s and 70s to look. With the promise of torture and gore, those covers burned themselves into the brain of everyone who saw them.
Now, for the first time, we’ve collected every known cover from this putrid publisher and are presenting them chronologically, fully annotated and in full color. The good, the bad and the ugly… the Whole Bloody Mess.
This book is 240 full color pages, 8 1/2 X 11, hardcover. Also available in softcover.
Release date: March 31, 2022.
