Yet another classic early issue of Warren's CREEPY, this one from February 1966. And yet another memorable cover from Frank Frazetta (love that background!). Archie Goodwin continues to write well-plotted stories with the familiar EC Comics twist ending.
All the artists are at the top of their game and provide excellent page layouts, especially Alex Toth's crazy panel designs and Gray Morrow's skilled ink wash work.
On the "Dear Uncle Creepy" letters page, readers get to see their first glimpse of Cousin Eerie. While not included in the Table of Contents, this is also the first appearance of The Creepy Fan Club Page which includes a bio on Frazetta and a sample of fan art.
NOTE: Ben Oda does all the lettering for the stories in this issue with the exception of Alex Toth's.
