Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 Today's Mail Call. I always think of Warren Presents as having mostly reprint covers, but in reality more of them are new than are reprints. They're also the epitome of Warren's "Mockbuster" style of cover design. A legit article on the movie, cover art that skirts design infringement, and a title that partially overlaps with whatever they're doing an article on.

While I love Eerie 41 as it’s an instant classic, the WP cover is equally liked for the different use of the artwork. The CI issue is of note as it uses the interior art for the cover as noted by the bare breasts that were not shown for the cover art.

I've noticed a lot of recycled covers in my year of getting to know the Warrens, but I had never noticed that duplication--er, triplication--before! So is that black vest just painted on for the covers--kind of like the pale yellow bikini top they tried to paint onto the cover of CREEPY #42?

It has maybe a 1/8 inch of split at the bottom, I wouldn't have noticed it as anything other than a production flaw if you hadn't commented. And there are at least a couple color-breaking tics on the spine. But MCS had it as a 6.0, so with their undergrading I could see calling this a 7.0 or so, 8 with a press.

I'm not real happy with either my #44 or #45, so those copies look pretty good... and yes, my #45 has about a 3/4" spine split at the bottom.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2023 In today. Other than the 1972 Creepy and Eerie Annuals next March, I'm good to go for the reading group through June 2024. I'll be focusing more on targets of opportunity rather than trying to get ahead on the reading group the rest of this year.
