Creepshow by Bernie Wrightson

It doesn't get much better than this! Creepshow led me to the EC Comics, Warren Magazines and Bruce Jones' Twisted Tales/Alien Worlds comics.

Who do you think was the heir to the EC comics legacy?

Twisted Tales, definitely. The Warren mags came close; but they were a weird hybrid of mainstream comic/old school anthology book in both presentation and content. So I kinda see them as their own thing. (Although I found out later they were reminiscent of the contemporary European style of comic.)

Big fan of Wrightson's Creepshow....I remember getting everyone turned on to this in the jr. high lunchroom before any of us saw the actual film (on HBO). At the time, we didn't realize this was the same guy who did the magnificent Swamp Thing.

I think DC picked it up with thier horror titles. Weird War tales is one of my favorite books.

Those new Vertigo anthologies were kind of fun.

or do folks prefer old school?


Wasteland was fun. Hugely underrated.


Do you think Strange Sports would fly today?
