From Booklist

The 1964 launching of Creepy, a black-and-white comics magazine that emulated the classic EC horror comics of the previous decade, was so successful that shortly afterward publisher Jim Warren started a companion publication, Eerie. The two magazines were entirely interchangeable, the only difference being that the imitation of EC’s iconic Crypt-Keeper who introduced the stories was Cousin Eerie rather than Uncle Creepy. Eerie boasted the same top-notch writers and artists. The first five issues, gathered in this volume, feature such stellar talents as Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Gene Colan, and EC veterans Wally Wood, Al Williamson, and Reed Crandall. --Gordon Flagg
