SteveDuin Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) A preface on the comics still to come: The quality of the run holds up for another 16 issues, then takes a dip. The #34 is an 8.5. You won't see its equal until the mid-teens. I could speculate on why - there aren't similar lulls in the Eerie or Vampirella runs - but it's unfortunate that several of the early keys don't approach the NM range. Creepy 49. 9.0 VF/NM OW. A rather unique Sanjulian cover. Light wear top edge of the squarebound. Maroto, Reed Crandall interior art. $75 SOLD to jr70 Edited January 4, 2022 by SteveDuin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveDuin Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Creepy 48. 9.4 NM ob OW/W. Light publishing warble at the right edge of the back cover. Interior artists include Wally Wood, Al Williamson, John Severin, Reed Crandall and Johnny Craig.

SteveDuin Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Creepy 46. 9.2 NM- OW/W. Sanjulian cover. Ken Kelly was the most prolific Warren cover artist, Frazetta the most renown. But when you actually have all the comics in hand, no artist has quite the impact as Sanjulian. Tiny flaws and the nick at the spine leave me on the fence as to whether this stunning black cover rates a 9.2 or a 9.4. Richard Corben, Tom Sutton, Esteban Maroto original art. $150 SOLD to jr70 Edited January 4, 2022 by SteveDuin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
