In the previous cover gallery post, I briefly went over the back story regarding the big horror comic publishers of the seventies. Warren had the big guns with Vampirella, Eerie, and Creepy. Skywald had some gems as well with Psycho and Nightmare. But it was Eerie Publications that totally pushed the envelope of good taste.... and boy are these comics sleazy. The art isn't as good and the quality of writing is pretty poor; however, they are entertaining as hell if you dig this sort of thing.
None of these covers contain nudity, but they are unbelievably violent. As you look at these covers, keep in mind that the bulk of these comics were sold to children, not adults. They're chock full of toy and candy ads obviously geared to the junior high market. No wonder our generation is so f****d up.
