Awesome Frazetta covers, his art always amazed me growing up.  Seeing these in color is great.

Great seeing all those early FM's. The first one I snagged from a magazine display was issue 28. Then I ordered a few from the back issues department. I had a subscription in '64 (I think). I kinda bailed when they started reprinting articles like crazy.

Can anyone tell me at what point/issue Creepy starting going more sci-fi fantasy vs horror monster stuff? I think the reason I didn't have near as many issues of Eerie is due to the fact they went that route pretty early as I recall. Probably why I liked the DC horror titles and Marvel reprints better back then.

Hey Wicked Lester - I'll check my issues of Creepy and Eerie and try to have an answer for you tonight.

This book answes many such questions but I can't access it immediately.

  Creepy started getting heavy on the sci-fi and fantasy around issues numbering in the upper 70's,  and Eerie became almost totally sci-fi with issue #60.  I think the success of the Hunter series starting in Eerie #55 is what probably changed Eerie.  For my part the great issues were Creepy #1- 63 and Eerie # 2- 58.  As far as Barbarian type fantasy, Eerie pretty much contained a lot of those kind of stories near it's beginning.

  I get to sit and read what I collect instead of just stashing it away.

 

  Me too.  I never understood why someone would collect comics and magazines if they didn't take time to sit and enjoy reading them.  Everything I collect gets read occasionally regardless of how rare or hard to find.  If I can't enjoy it, I don't need it.

Hepcat - FYI - I was a contributor on the Warren Companion listed in the credits under my alias Steven Jacobs.

Wow! Cool! But Mr. Mxyzptlk would have made a much better contributor.

Thanks for the info. I've been buying a few here and there just to read so we're not talking top condition. My issues in the 70's and up I'll probably move along. The couple in the 30's and below I'll hang onto.

I think most issues of Creepy and Eerie had at least one SF story in the mix right from the beginning.

I really wasn't happy when Eerie stated to have continuing characters, though the art in Hunter (Paul Neary?) was very good.
