The "Eerie" Evolution of Horror Volume 1 Hardcover Premium ColorWhen Eerie Publications hit the scene in the mid 60s, they hit upon an interesting idea for writing their Horror Storiesthey just wouldnt do it. Why pay writers, they thought, when there were so many great horror comics already out there.

When Eerie Publications hit the scene in the mid-60s, they hit upon an interesting idea for writing their Horror StoriesÉthey just wouldnÕt do it. Why pay writers, they thought, when there were so many great horror comics already out there. So Eerie took stories, already in print, mostly from the early 1950Õs and gave them to artists to redraw in a modern vein, generally more graphic, more gory. This was not legal, this was piracy. Still either no one noticed, or no one was left around from the now-defunct comic comics to notice.
This is a very unique book. This book reprints 18 of the Original Pirated Stories/Artwork from the 50Õs in color, followed by the same REDRAWNED stories by Eerie, in the more modern, gruesome art style of the 1970Õs, in B&W, so you can see the stylistic differences between the two sets of publications!
