THE BEST IN ILLUSTRATED SCIENCE-HORROR!
Uncle Creepy’s been hogging all the glory in Dark Horse’s revival of Warren’s classic
magazines—but here comes the affable, bold Cousin Eerie to nudge him out of the
spotlight! This terrifying treasury of sinister sci-fi and fearsome fantasy collects the modern
material from Eerie comics #1–#8. All the new stories from the 2012 to 2015 Eerie run
are collected in this handsome volume, amassing the inimitable talents of David Lapham,
Mike Allred, Jonathan Case, Paul Chadwick, Kelley Jones, Troy Nixey, John Arcudi, Larry
Hama, Ales Kot, and many more!
“A lesson in how to do a good old fashioned horror short
properly. It has everything you need.”
—Geeked Out Nation
“With a fine mix of art and solid, tightly written stories, I heartily
enjoyed Eerie . . . It was a lot of fun.”
—Big Comic Page
“A star-studded list of creators
brings more science fiction horror
to the shelf.”
—Newsarama
