Eerie Archives Volume 6

In "Strange Gateway", a man and his wife find a glorious land in the mirror world! In "Mirror, mirror" an evil man uses the mirror for his own nefarious purposes, but in the end gets his comeuppance! In "The Vorpal Sword", a young hero gets the sword of his dreams and gets it on with a hottie! In the end he gets a big surprise!

Zo jammer dar er altijd ondermaatse verpakkingen worden gebruikt waardoor er schade is van het (ongetwijfeld soms brute) transport. Hier en daar aan de hoeken en randen van het boek lichte schade. Heb eerder het gevoel dat ik een tweedehands comic kocht. Amazon heeft zonder enige twijfel een grote kans (degelijkere verpakkingen dus) laten liggen om nog meer bestellingen te kunnen krijgen.

Eerie up until now was a second rate Creepy, not until the next few issues would it find its place with on going series such an The Demons of Jeremiah Pan and Freaks...Corben, Kelly, are still honing their crafts. And Wrightson, Moroto, Sanjulian, and company are waiting in the wings but when they arrive boy will they make an impression!!The four covers say a lot ...The first a mediocre painting that has no shadow or depth, but the inside story by the same artist is well drawn and has a great ending. The second by Ken Kelly, not his best an early effort but man he was getting good at anatomy!The third By Basil Gogos is great! Whatever happened to this guy? I love this cover the best of the four. The fourth by Richard Corben, the foreground and characters and background bursting with "Corben" color. This guy would become the premier star of their color stories and with good reason!You can see a progression from mediocre to great in the covers alone.The insides are at times excellent with mainly American artists and writers including doug Moench who pens his first and easily the dumbest story of the lot in the "Abominable Snowman", is interviewed and it is a good interview. j. The Spanish art easily outshines most of the rest and that is why I guess Warren started using mostly them, and am I glad he did!Phillipe Druillet (of Heavy Metal fame)is featured in the fanpages, too basd Warren didn't snag him when they had the chance.Bill Dubay (later editor) writes and pens two efforts, and they are among the best.

So happy to get a collection of the comics I grew up with and can now enjoy once again. I get to re-live those years all over again. Yay.

This collection cuts us short by one issue instead of 5 we get 4. Still EERIE is notas good as CREEPY but will soon kick into high gear when the series of characters start likeSPOOK.Most of the art is very good and when the Spanish artist come into play they are just great.
