This retro-style anthology of all-new horror tales is guaranteed to give you the eeries and the creepies! Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, EEEK! blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina. Jason Paulos delivers the goods with over 15 tales of revenge, zombies, vampires, ghouls and monsters. Each tale drawn in a different style reminiscent of the B&W horror mags of the 70's and 80's. In 'Deadline of Death' we witness rival comic artists dabbling with malevolent forces that arrive in the form of a chain smoking goatee wearing Satan. In Lights! Camera! Murder!, A lovesick starlet and a ruthless film director embark on a doomed love affair that ends in pieces! In "Easy Prey" A helpless girl, lost in the wilderness ... but is she all that she seems? In "Head Trip" a hippie's love for music goes horribly wrong. Other titles include "Confessions of a Thrill Killer", "Like Son, Like Father" , "In Too Deep" and many more. Includes full color section and sketches.

"Whether you've been a lifelong

fan of anthology horror comics or have yet to

discover the morbidly magical pleasures found

within them, EEEK! cannot be recommended

enough. --I can confidently prescribe this book.

However, I must warn you, side effects may include:

the willies, the creepies, the spookies

and the heebie-jeebies!”

--FANGORIA

"An intriguing mix of stories inspired by E.C.

and DC's terror tales of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.”

tales this side of the new millennium!”

--Erik Hendrix

Zedura Magazine

"In the grand tradition of Eerie and Creepy,

EEEK! is an anthology that's guaranteed to

satisfy your craving for classic horror comics.

From its time-honored parable story structure to

its homage inflected artwork, this collection

feels as though it could have been a lost

treasure from the 1970's Warren magazines.”
