Just when you thought CREEPY couldn't get any better, here came issue #11! And yes, it's one in a long run of Warren's classic comic title, with the best horror story scriptwriter of the era (Archie Goodwin) and a dungeon of artists with superior talent, with "new" faces Manny Stallman and Norman Nodel. Goodwin has on board an assistant editor to help carry the load and mega-EC comics fan, Ron Parker writes a story. All told, Parker wrote a handful of stories for both CREEPY and EERIE.
Errata: "Trial By Fire" is listed on the contents page of this issue instead of "The Doorway!". "Trial By Fire" appeared in EERIE #6.

Fantastic artwork! Dan Adkins is an artist who gets very little love. His style could be stiff and sometimes derivative, but when it worked it was great. Thanks for reminding me I need to order the latest Eerie and Creepy archives.
ReplyDeleteI agree.I like Adkins' work and I like his clean lines. Kind of like Russ Heath without the shading embellishments.
