Description: Warren Publishing 1964 Creepy #1 CGC 8.0 VF 1st Appearance of Uncle Creepy Uncle Creepy 1st appearance! The classic EC horror comics of the early 1950s had been gone for about a decade when Creepy #1 premiered in 1964, but publisher Jim Warren lived up to EC's art standards with this magazine's lineup of talent. Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall, Al Williamson, Angelo Torres and George Evans - all veterans of the phenomenal EC art staff - did interior work for this premiere issue, and the cover is by one of the most beloved EC artists, Jack Davis. Features the first appearance of Uncle Creepy. When the Comics Code Authority cracked down on the comic book industry in 1955, horror comics all but faded from the scene. Enter Creepy magazine, publisher James Warren's tribute (after a fashion) to EC's vaunted horror comics line, which couldn't survive the Code's strong arm censorship tactics. Magazines weren't subject to the same rules, giving Warren the freedom to publish more mature content. Eerie, Vampirella, and other Warren publications followed. Cover art by Jack Davis. Stories in this first issue of Creepy include: Voodoo by Bill Pearson and Joe Orlando. H2O World! by Larry Ivie, Al Williamson, and Roy G. Krenkel. Vampires fly at Dusk! by Archie Goodwin and Reed Crandall. Werewolf! by Larry Ivie and Frank Frazetta. Bewitched! by Larry Ivie and Gray Morrow. The Success Story by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson, and Pursuit of the Vampire! by Archie Goodwin and Angelo Torres.
