Trashy Garish Over-The-Top Envelope Pushin' Monster Magazines!

[horrorhunter]

I know there is another great thread for Warren Magazines, but this one is for the outcast, downtrodden, and demonized. So post your Eerie Pubs, Skywalds, Stanleys, or any other monster mag which falls into this broad and putrid cateGORY. Don't worry about condition. Most of these things were rightly beat to hell. It seems almost wrong to even have such wretchedness in pristine condition. We just wanna see the goods. 

I'll start us off with some exquisitely awful Eerie Pubs from that hogleg totin' nut-from-hell Myron Fass. Below are the Tales From The Crypt one shot, and some vomit inducing Tales Of Voodoo (including the 1st ish: Vol. 1, #11, even the numbering was screwed on these things).



Here's that 1st issue of Tales Of Voodoo. Notice the rat chews on the right edge. Eerie Pubs wear rat chews like a badge of honor.

Wow, those are pretty intense (especially considering the time period). Really like 'em.

Thanks, man. I have tons of these things and I'll be posting them every so often. Hopefully other members will post theirs as well. This is the genesis of enough highly prized trash to choke Linda Lovelace.

Not to mention, "thief" ...

... because he swiped much of this material from Pre-Code comics!

Skywald mags have gotten a bum rap in the collecting community for years. They have been more widely accepted of late, but they are still regarded as substandard by some. I've always loved the Skywald mags and I feel they exhibit the same level of excellence as the Warren mags. But, since they are still somewhat demonized they have a home in this thread.

Here are the first five issues of Psycho from Skywald.

Well since you asked for Skywalds, here are scans of my Nightmare magazines:

I agree that the Skywalds have artwork that's almost on par with that of the Warren mags, although the Skywalds in general have much more graphic covers. I actually only discovered the Skywalds this past decade. They're much harder to find than the Warrens and I only have a few of them.

Some early issues of Weird by Eerie Pubs.











Notice the shmegma on that 2nd cover. Eerie Pubs are shmegma magnets!

Here are a couple of modern tomes that are invaluable if you are into the renegade monster mags of the nitty gritty '70s.

First up is The Complete Illustrated History Of The Skywald Horror-Mood by "Archaic" Alan Hewetson. Compelling and just plain fun. It's OOP so it might be a little pricey, but well worth it's weight in gore covered gold.



Next is The Weird World Of Eerie Publications. Incredibly fun read with mucho info. It's a gottahave. Grab one while they are still cheap. And I'm recommending the hardback even though that Amazon pic says Kindle. I'm old fashioned that way.




It occurred to me that if Tim Burton wants to get out of that "remake funk" he should do a film on that nutty scoundrel Myron Fass and Eerie Pubs. Since Fass was such an extreme character it could be quite interesting. Burton's Ed Wood was entertaining, so his Eerie World Of Myron could be hellashously fun!

Four issues of Chilling Tales Of Horror from Stanley Publications. The Stanley rags...er...mags pick the bones of pre-code horror comics like Eerie Pubs did. Stanleys are much more scarce than Eerie Pubs or Skywalds.










Stanleys were published from May 1969 to October 1971. Titles include Adventures In Horror, Chilling Tales Of Horror, Ghoul Tales, Horror Stories, Shock, and Stark Terror.
