Book Reviews of Creepy Archives Volume 2
Book Review: Speaking of Fantagraphics' "Blazing Combat" book...
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps one reason that the Fantagraphics "Blazing Combat" book is so much cheaper than Dark Horse's "Creepy" Archives is that, according to Amazon's listing, "Blazing Combat" is only going to be 8" x 5" in size! What a shame. I'm a great admirer of Fantagraphics, and own many of their excellent publications. But I'm puzzled and disappointed as to why they chose (if Amazon's listing is correct)to publish "Blazing Combat" in a reduced format. I'm very thankful that Dark Horse is reprinting the Creepy Archives books full-size, with color covers intact.
At any rate, if you compare the prices between the full-sized Dark Horse book and the half-sized Fantagraphics book, they come out about even.
Regarding Creepy Archives #2, at the Amazon price it(as well as #1)is worth every penny. These are classic stories, right up there with anything EC ever did. Dark Horse's reproduction is far better than I've seen in their other archives books. I still have the first 20 or so Creepy magazines, and these reprints compare very favorably in my eyes. The involvement of Jon Cooke, the penultimate Warren collector, must have kept Dark Horse on the straight and narrow.
All I can say is, "Thanks, Dark Horse! This is a class act! Keep up the great work! And bring on Eerie!"
Summary of Creepy Archives Volume 2
This vein-chilling second volume showcases work by some of the best artists to ever work in the comics medium, including Alex Toth, Gray Morrow, Reed Crandall, John Severin, and others. Each archive volume of Creepy is packed with stories (usually up to eight short stories were featured in every issue!) running the gamut of gruesome subject matter, from reimagined horror classics such as "The Cask of Amontillado," to spectacularly mind-twisting shorts such as "The Thing in the Pit," or the macabre maritime yarn "Drink Deep."Horror Books
