Catalogue information
A strong issue started with Frazetta's cover featuring an image of an undersea monster and a diver. All the art assignments were good, but particular attention should be paid to Angelo Torres, Steve Ditko and Alex Toth. My favorite story is "Room With A View," in part because when I was a kid, the first Warren comic I read was a coverless Eerie #42, which reprinted this story. It was the first story I read in the book and the one that gave me nightmares for days after. It features sharp art from Ditko with a simple yet compelling story from Goodwin. Goodwin & Frazetta's anti-smoking ad was publisher Jim Warren's response to cigarette companies offering him high-paying ads to target his 14- to 18-year-old readers. It effectively stopped the offers. It should be noted that Warren stood his ground on this issue, even during the dark years of 1967-1969, when he could have easily relented and saved his magazines on cigarette advertising revenues.
