Some remarkable work in this issue, especially from Jay Taycee (Johnny Craig) and Manny Stallman, whose splash page on "The Invitation" is exceptional. Both "The Invitation" and "Death Plane" are reported to have originally been slated for CREEPY #1, but were instead used for the EERIE #1 ashcan edition. "Death Plane" is not listed on the contents page of this issue. Gray Morrow is profiled on the Creepy Fan Club page. This is also the first issue where the numbering appears on the front cover.
NOTE: Back covers are damaged in this scan.
