Creepy & Eerie magazines – cover art
Here is some fantastic art featured on Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella magazines , plus, some other magazines from the late 1960’s and 1970’s. These magazines featured illustrated stories but they were considered newsstand publications. Therefore, they could bypass the Comics Code Authority and involve more adult oriented themes. Creepy started publishing in 1964, Eerie in 1966 and Vampirella in 1969 by Warren Publishing.

It is said that Forest Ackerman (Famous Monsters) had a hand in creating Vampirella, along with costume designer Trina Robbins.
And here are some other Illustrated titles from that time period:
Why is Vampirella always bent backwards?
to show off her… flexability!
aaaaaaaaaaaaahh Vampirella….!!
One of those Vampirella covers looks SO familiar to me … Like I owned it. But I’m not quite old enough for that, so maybe I had a reissue.
could it have been a reissue? they were always reissuing these old magazines – every time a new company took over the publishing.
A couple of those Eerie covers look like they were done by Boris, do you know if they were?
I know a couple are Frank Frazetta but I’m not sure about the artists on all of them.
Great stuff! Amazing to think that you could once walk into any grocery store, drug store or 7-11 and find that stuff on the rack.
