review 1: This is a very nice collection, but I was surprised that it wasn't longer. I guess Wrightson didn't do as many Creepy/Eerie stories as I'd figured. Most of the ones that are real classics ("The Black Cat," "Jenifer," "Cool Air," "The Pepper Lake Monster," etc.) weren't new to me, but it's nice to have them in a decent format.Maybe the best part of this particular collection was the inclusion of all of Wrightson's frontispieces from Creepy and Eerie, which were pretty great.
review 2: I'm somewhat new to the horror comic genre, and this was quite the introduction. This is a collection of stories from the mid to late seventies and it's funny to look at them with a modern eye.We've seen so much that it takes quite a bit to shock or disgust us. I found myself smili... moreng at the quaintness of some of the stories, or rolling my eyes at the predictability of the story lines.The first story was a huge turn-off and actually one of the more shocking ones in the collection, but I decided to plow ahead and see where all of this was going. You are brought through the lows of society, the strange and unusual. The only major fault that you will find is that some of the stories are too short and don't make complete sense.The artwork is perfectly appropriate - it oozes, drips and slithers across the pages and was one of the things that made me keep reading.I would recommend this collection for people who enjoy short horror, and don't mind being mildly grossed out. There is so much more that we endure these days, not just in film, but in every corner of media, that these stories seem almost charming.*** 1/2 = glad I read it, I enjoyed it.ARC provided by NetGalley less
