08:05 pm [dr_hermes] [Link]	Vampires on talk shows. What is the world coming to? I haven't been following scans_daily much lately. Interest seems mostly on current super-hero comics, mostly Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and the Batman colony. But I thought some here might like a look at one of the odder strips of the past. Warren's CREEPY and EERIE started out like gangbusters, black & white horror comics illustrated by hall of fame artists. Some CREEPY and EERIE stories were better than some EC (which had their share of duds, like anyone). But after Archie Goodwin left, Warren magazines ran to the edge of the quality cliff and jumped off. By the time 1984 was started (imitating HEAVY METAL, I suppose), things were dire. The magazine had lots of decent art, but the stories were gross-outs aiming at being offensive rather than provocative, crass rather than thought-provoking. There was almost nothing in 1984 (which changed to 1994 after the George Orwell estate had something to say) worth saving. But I did like REX HAVOC (AND THE ASS-KICKERS OF THE FANTASTIC).

03:48 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	The Creepy Conclusion With the '1/3 fair use' rules being extended to short stories as well, I've decided to end my Warren posts. In my opinion, it would not work for the majority of the remaining stories--if you have a six page story, for example, only showing two pages would be hard, mainly because I would be recapping most of the story myself and the effect would be lost. That being said, there are still some stories that I was really looking forward to sharing for quite some time that I was saving for the end, so I decided I would post excerpts from them anyway. Most of them are from Creepy, but there's an Eerie and Vampirella hiding around as well.

02:11 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	I Hate You! I Hate You! ( Story under the cut... ) Disclaimer: To the best of my memory, Warren magazines (Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella) were in the 80 to 100 page range. So the minimum maximum (is that an oxymoron?) would be 26 pages, and none of the stories have gone past that length. Tags: publisher: warren, title: creepy (26 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:11 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	Visit to a Primitive Planet Hello, everyone. This is my first "real" post at the new Scans_Daily. For those who aren't familar with these, at the old S_D I used to post stories from Warren's Creepy magazine. A question I have: Before I used to post stories from EC (famous for Tales from the Crypt, but they also did a number of other genres such as mystery, crime, sci-fi, etc). I finished a while ago, having posted all the stories that I wanted to from the limited number of issues I had. I have obtained a bit more recently, and thus, have more stories I might post. Would you all prefer I finish my Warren stories before posting the new EC ones, quit posting the Warren ones and start the EC ones, post them both in moderation, or what?
