Andy...Thanks, guys (assuming you're both guys). Andy, I think the Warren mags at this point are somewhere in between EC and DC, though probably closer to DC. Q99, I'm intrigued by your comment about being a Grandenetti fan. Having suffered through his '70s DC work, I'd like to hear more.Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-33912474257482662352019-06-03T18:21:33.287-07:002019-06-03T18:21:33.287-07:00Creepy #12 - What an awful issue!

By this point I think the expansion into two horror comics is hurting them as they've had to bring on board a lot of mediocre to average at best artists like Jenney, Mastroserio and Stallman because its too much material for just the original EC artists. Goodwin is also clearly overworked. The stories themselves also aren't too good. Especially Adam Link! That said, I do enjoy Dark House of Dreams (probably not as much if Torres wasn't the artist though), Ditko is always good and now that he's fully seperated himself from Orlando, Grandenetti I am a fan of as well.<br /><br />Eerie #6 - Art is a lot better here, having stories from Crandall, Craig and Colan (in addition to Torres and Ditko, who were in Creepy too), although the writing is again on the weaker side. Colan's story is the clear winner here; and my recollection is we'll be seeing him get the best story of the issue month after month until Goodwin leaves and he departs Warren (which unfortunately is only around 5 issues off!)Quiddity99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17809157926893454731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-50270265051415043402019-06-03T09:11:32.242-07:002019-06-03T09:11:32.242-07:00I always liked "Cave of the Druids", eve...I always liked "Cave of the Druids", even if the ending is weak. (And I wonder what Wood would have made of this.) This reads more like a chapter then a finished tale. Still, Roman legionaires and druids, alwaya a plus. Which is the reason why Curse of Kali is such a disappointment. To waste this setting for just another dumb vampire tale is, well, a huge waste. <br /><br />The rest of this issue of Eerie is rather dull. This is more "House of Mystery" then "Tales from the Crypt".andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.com
