The weird world of eerie publications
This is a fantastic book. Mike Howlett is definitely the pubs expert. This is the most detailed story of the insanity that was eerie pubs. With beautiful photos of these twisted and deranged comics. A comprehensive look inside the beginning , hey day and demise of the pubs. Plus in depth looks a the people who made this crazy time of the late 60s early 70s possible. If you are at all a fan of or just intrested in the story of a maniac comic empire. Definitely buy this book. And if you're like me a pubs collector then also grab Mike's follow up the weird indexes. This is a must have for collectors who go crazy trying to figure out the numbering system. I loved every single page of this book and highly recommend it. Mike has done a fantastic job. 5 stars for this one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Eerie ! What a company
Interesting story with plenty of glossy pics…lays out the history of this rogue publisher who “borrowed” stories from other companies. When the 50’s mania regarding violence in comics affecting children killed the horror comic market publishers at that time either folded or moved to publishing other docile material. In the late 60’s publishers Warren and Skywald started producing high quality new magazine size horror comics which avoided comic code restrictions. Both companies had great artists and new stories. Along came Eerie looking to make a buck. First they outright stole stories and art from defunct pre-code printers then later would rewrite and redraw pre-existing stories with more gore and sexuality…even multiple times. Basically the only all new material were the gory bright covers featuring dismemberment, beheadings, and lots of blood,gore,and cleavage. Eventually they even started cutting and pasting their own covers to create new ones…with poor and obvious results. Very intersting and well researched. Awesome compilation from a true devotee to this unscrupulous publisher.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
