The Weird World of Eerie Publications

Worst of Eerie Publications


Book Description

Collected for the first time in a deluxe edition are the comics that deserve it the least: the infamous Eerie Publications' horror comics! Incredibly gory and crazy, the Eerie Pubs pushed the boundaries of good taste with blood-drenched, spine-cracking tales ripped (and redrawn) from the pages of Pre-Code horror comics.




The Weird and the Eerie


Book Description

A noted cultural critic unearths the weird, the eerie, and the horrific in 20th-century culture through a wide range of literature, film, and music references—from H.P. Lovecraft and Daphne Du Maurier to Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan. What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? Two closely related but distinct modes, and each possesses its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, but this genre alone does not fully encapsulate the pull of the outside and the unknown. In several essays, Mark Fisher argues that a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of transitory concepts such as the Weird and the Eerie. Featuring discussion of the works of: H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christopher Nolan.

The Complete Weird Worlds


Book Description

It has been gone for three decades, but the titles of Eerie Publications are still sought after and enjoyed by readers across the world. Over a 15-year span (1966-1981) Eerie Publishing made its mark as a publisher of B&W horror magazines, competing primarily with the Warren titles and a few of the more successful Marvel magazines. Their output was a mix of original stories and plenty of reprints from the pre- and post-code era. WEIRD WORLDS, a SF/Fantasy/Horror hybrid comic, was stocked with B&W versions of 1950s stories, many extensively reworked. We have indicated the original artist for the stories where this is known, but in many cases the style has been hidden under the alterations, a fascinating look at how stories were repurposed for a new generation. The is the complete 5-issue series, collected in print for the first time!




Terrors Of Dracula: Volume 2


Book Description

It has been gone for three decades, but the titles of Eerie Publications are still sought after and enjoyed by readers across the world. Over a 15-year span (1966-1981) Eerie Publishing made its mark as a publisher of B&W horror magazines, competing primarily with the Warren titles and a few of the more successful Marvel magazines. The Eerie Publications production process was different - they took stories from the late 40s and early 50s - the Golden Age of pre- and post-Code horror, and they retold, the stories with new artists and a new style ---- a very, VERY DIFFERENT style. This is a fascinating look at how stories were repurposed for a new generation, made more graphic and gory. Even if you might have read the story from which they "borrowed" the script, it's a different tale altogether. We are offering the complete 8-issue series in two volumes, in print together for the first time! There will be some overlap between this series and the WEIRD VAMPIRE TALES series and other Eerie Publications. The overlap is not extensive, maybe a dozen stories throughout the 8-issue series.




The Comic Art Collection Catalog


Book Description

This is the most comprehensive dictionary available on comic art produced around the world. The catalog provides detailed information about more than 60,000 cataloged books, magazines, scrapbooks, fanzines, comic books, and other materials in the Michigan State University Libraries, America's premiere library comics collection. The catalog lists both comics and works about comics. Each book or serial is listed by title, with entries as appropriate under author, subject, and series. Besides the traditional books and magazines, significant collections of microfilm, sound recordings, vertical files, and realia (mainly T-shirts) are included. Comics and related materials are grouped by nationality (e.g., French comics) and genre (e.g., funny animal comics). Several times larger than any previously published bibliography, list, or catalog on the comic arts, this unique international dictionary catalog is indispensible for all scholars and students of comics and the broad field of popular culture.
