Showcase your Warren mags here!

No, nothing was ever said [at least to my knowledge] to the promoter in question by Zach. He wasn't just selling the fanzine but also cassette dupes of Zach's early albums along with some other stuff i don't remember. Zach's response to situations like these is to simply never do business with that person ever again. I know for a fact the guy approached him about doing other projects. Zach never gets confrontational about it, he just says ''we'll see'' and then never gets back to the person.

  First two issues of Warren's 1984 magazine.  Covers by Richard Corben.

I love those Corben covers! I only have four of the later 1984/1994 mags:

  Harris CREEPY magazine one-shot.

Nice 1994 covers Hep.  I only have one issue vafter it changed from 1984 to 1994.

[Wicked Lester]

Ya gotta love Corben. One of my fave artists of that era. I would really like to see books with Corben covers be higher priced well.. because it has a Corben cover. The dude deserves his due.

[Hepcat]

Indeed! And that cover of Creepy 146 is one of my Corben favourites.

   

  Great covers Hep.  I've always loved that Frazetta painting on issue #15.

Here then are a couple more Frazetta covers anyway:

  Franzetta gave Warren some of their best covers.  His covers turned me into an instant fan of his, making me seek out some of his other work.

Do I ever wish that I still had all my old Warren Mags! FM, Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella were my only reading material other than Cinefantastique in the late '60s and early '70s. Alas, mice and water damage got to them all, eventually.

I remember being on vacation in Florida in '75 when the issue of FM came out that revealed Barbara Leigh had been cast as Vampirella for Hammer's movie, complete with photos of her in a Vampirella costume she'd had made for the FM con in NYC. My aunt saw me reading it and acted like she'd caught me reading Playboy! (I was 13 at the time.) She took it from me and took it to my mom. Mom took one look and said, "They wear less than that at the beach," and handed it back to me.

Your mom ROCKS!!

[Count_Zirock]

Mom was the one that got me into horror films as a kid. She claims I first saw 1931's "Dracula" & "Frankenstein" when I was just 3, and never had nightmares after watching them. She's 80 now, and it's hard watching her health start to fail. I still think of her taking me to see "The Exorcist" after my dad said I couldn't go. Or her buying me my very first Aurora kit (Superboy & Krypto) when I was just 5 and home sick with a bad cold. And whenever the new FM or Vampirella hit the stands, she made sure I got them.

You're not alone. I think a lot of Frazetta fans were introduced to his work by those covers he did for Warren Publishing. The deal with Warren was probably the best career move that Frank ever made.

Including your aunt probably!

[Count_Zirock]

Including your aunt probably!

Oh, no no no! Besides being a proper Southern Baptist lady and about 50 at the time, she was a rather hefty woman. NO ONE wanted to see that! I only ever remember seeing her in one-pieces, thankfully.

Definitely a SUPER Mom.

Even the one piece would probably have shown too much then. That anyway explains her objection to Barbara Leigh as Vampi though.
