Details

Publisher: James Warren. Editor: Russ Jones. 35 cents for 48 pages. No date, but consistent with the dates on the third issue, this would likely be dated January or winter 1965. Jack Davis provides several drawings of Uncle Creepy for story introductions. Bill Pearson has expressed in print his dismay at Russ Jones' claim that he would have written the credit for the first story. Pearson insists it's all his job. Apparently this first track was originally intended as an effort by "all EG artists", with the story "Bewitched" intended to be Wally Wood's contribution. Somehow, the story was sent to artist Gray Morrow instead, making him the only non-EG artist. The Frazetta story was his last comic, with the exception of two pages of Creepy's Loathsome Lore, which may have been created prior to the comic for this story. The best story in this issue, Goodwin's "The Success Story," was based on a real-life comic book artist who led his unknowing ghost pencil, inker, and writer to create the entire comic, while the original artist took credit for it. The characters in the story are based on Goodwin, Williamson, Angelo Torres & Al McWilliams. All in all, a very good first release.
