I would like to see a book which reprints all of the Eerie Publications covers in full color, because for me the covers are the best part. I have recently bid on and won a good number of Eerie Pubs on e-bay and most of the stories are kind of weak, though I remember getting scared like Hell at some of the stories when I was a kid. I bought most of mine in the early 70's at a small independent grocery store called the Green Market in Salem, Virginia. After spending the night in my parents room a few times because I was scared to be alone im my room after reading some of those stories my mother told me she would not buy me any more of those mags if I did that again. So from then on I would have a very scared feeling when I read those mags because I knew if I got too scared I would have to go it alone in my bedroom at night. Anyway, these books were a big part of my childhood and I'm glad to see some sites dedicated to them.

Remember reading these mags in CA in the early 70's. The LSD story scared the crap outta me but good. Also remember the 'gutless wonder' story and the 'way to a man's heart' story. Can anyone quote the issue that these are in?

Blech, Sparrow 13 was right, Hungry Ghoul was one gross tidbit, but hard pressed to beat Dick's other classic, "I chopped her head off" Terror Tales Jan 1970. Other great D.A. stories; "Sewer Werewolves, Witch's House is Haunted", Weird, Feb 1970. Best cover, no doubt, May 1969 Terror Tales, with the Frankensteinian Giant, munching corpses like ears of corn! Dick is still at it, doing custom art work for on-line bidders. Click Dick Ayers, Custom Hero Art, Jack Kirby Inker, on E-Bay. Thanks Claw!!! LOVE YOUR SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike

I bought my first Eerie books in 1968. I think the cover showed a woman getting her legs ripped off. Then there was the cover showing people being dissolved in acid. How about the guy's eyeball impaled on the witch's sharp fingernail. I wonder what the guys who drew these covers looked like? Ha ha! Later on I got some of the Ajax-Farrell books published during the 50s and found out that's where they stole all their material from. It seemed mostly Iger shop stuff. I think by late 1969 they started to run out of the old stories and began doing some originals. Some of the artists I remember, Ayers, Reynoso,... By 1971 most if not all of the stories were very poorly drawn. A few of the stories I recognized as stolen from 50s magazines but rather ineptly redrawn.

Does anyone know what issue the story "Dearest, Deadest Dummy" appears in? I wrote and directed a public access tv show that was loosely based on that, which featured a Thelma Todd-like kewpie doll. I would love to see the original story again.

I don't know why I found your site but I think it's great that I did. I was an innocent graphic designer-to-be when I got a job at Countrywide in 1977. I don't think of it a lot anymore; some of what I experienced would be hard to believe in general, but it was truly unique to have worked for Myron Fass for over 2 years...I'm sickly fascinated by it now...others must be as well. My ability to have very successfully survived that place, to go on and actually become a "real" designer who functioned quite well could seem amazing to me. Maybe that sounds weird, but it's just true. If you weren't there, it would sound weirder. I will always remember the "ClockIn With Handgun" incident. I guess stuff like that could happen in 1977 (or '78). Myron came to all of our desks, one by one, with a loaded gun in hand, to "clock us in". It was surreal, but it very much happened. He had someone with him, it may have been Jeff, but I can't be sure. He went like this "It's 9:08 am and Joe Schmo is not at his desk", sort of like a proclaimation. On to the next desk.I guess it felt like being a part of a wildly disfunctional family; now that we know all corporations are in essence just that...I guess it was refreshing to have one be so OPEN about it. Myron was a pretty insane monarch, but it was like everyone knew it since he broke social codes openly and we lived with it. I think it was actually better like that, then say,Enron.Well, not exactly the same, but you get my drift. Jeffrey was really strange. I couldn't buy into what I felt was just media explotation, but Jeff seemed to think it was just great. I actually never knew he was a Fass nephew. Makes total sense now. Have you mentioned the "I MYRON" article in the Village Voice? Don't know when I'll next be on this, but I'll look for the article another time, since I guess I missed it. God Bless Myron. If not for him, my work life would have been that much more ordinary. David Fass may be enlightened by now...he was adorable and not as disfunctional, doncha think?

"Dearest Deadest Dummy" appeared in the March 1970 issue of "Horror Tales". The cover advertises another story "Ghoul Without Pockets". The Eerie magazines reprinted some Ajax-Farrell stories multiple times, so it is quite possible that this story appears in other issues as well.

Hello, Jeff G. here. Glad you enjoyed my "Myron" photo.....heh heh heh. I have recently been released by Space Aliens. There is a big chapter in a book called "Bizzarisms" (published in Australia) about "Official UFO", and yours truly. Contrary to what you may think, I was never Myron's relative. David Fass was his son, Irving was his brother, there was another retard brother who lived in the office, washed his disgusting underwear in the sink, and smelled and gambled. Jeffrey (moi) has no relation to Myron. And this websmaster never published a "thank you" or credit for the Myron photo, or the numerous contributions I so graciously gave to him for FREE. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. The MOST infamous incident was the one were Myron shot a gun through a wall, almost killing his partner, or the severe beating of Stanley Harris by Myron in front of the whole office, which terrified his secretary, curvaceous "Voola", who had some strange Greek name. See you next time, kiddies.....

Hello. I'm trying to find help in getting two magazines by Eerie that I used to own, but also in finding out their issue numbers, by describing the stories.( the first one, I think, was Witches' Tales # 15, I want to make sure.) In the first one, the last story, which ended on the back cover, was more of a grim one than a gruesome one, about a man around the turn of the century who always sees a skull over the face of a doomed person. At the end, he's on a passenger ship where everyone looks like this (including himself in a mirror), which turns out to be the Lusitania. The other story was about a UFO "abductee" in the 19th Century, who spends decades on the other planet as a sort of well-treated prisoner, and eventually is given an artificial, robot body. After more than a hundred years he manages to return to earth on one of their ships, but finds everything in ruins. In the other issue, the last story was a "Most Dangerous Game" variation, about a hunter who hunts two men stranded on his private island. At the end (on the back cover), he's caught in one of his own traps, and is rescued by one of his victims, who puts him on a boat to take to the police. But when he starts the boat, it explodes, because of a bomb the hunter had planted on it.Both of these were from either 1972 or ' 71, and again, I think the first one was Witches' Tales # 15. I would appreciate any help with the titles and numbers, or the magazines themselves.

I'm looking for the issue that "Horribly Beautiful" appeared in. Is that an old Ajax-Farrell story? Also the story about the three old women whose heads end up stuck on spikes on the fence around the mansions where they live. Loved these books in the late '60's bought them at a small magazine rack/ fishing tackle store called Sportsman's Cigar Shop. They rolled up all the magazines you bought and put a rubber band around them instead of bagging them. Old men used to stand around a spitoon in the back of the store. They had a news rack of lurid paperbacks, comic books, and all of the men's humor and adventure magazines.

Dear Emp: I worship at the blood-caked shrine of Myron Fass and Eerie Publications. When I was a small creature, we traded these magazines in school (6th grade, Nisqually Middle School, Lacey, WA) They were scary! They could only be found at certain places of Evil - like the "Booknook" at South Sound Center, or certain Evil Drugstores! Their puipy smell was unmistakeable! At first the splattered blood, poked-out eyeballs and exposed bone ends were icky - then, strangely compelling. The Warren publications were better drawn - but not as scary! Their blood spurted in elegant Frazatta-esque arcs, not Ayers-spurts. (On the other hand, Warren Publications had Frazetta-esque girls with bare breasts, which introduced a whole other kind of terrifying pleasure. Yay!) Anyway, this humble Eerie thrall especially remembers this story where, like, there was this scientific place with all these frozen people, and, like, the temperature or something went haywire, so, like these people were all torn apart and reasembled into four-limbed monsters with fangs that, like ate people! And I also remember this magazine with a evil cactus that hugged it's victims with bloody results! And this cover (was it Eerie? I do not see it in the cover galleries) with some guy's head being bloodily squished in a press! Shriek! AWWWWKKKK! The SERUM MONSTER IS HERE! RUN! RUN!

All Powerful Claw! I beseech thee! Sometime in the mid-70's I read...no, experienced a story which I've thought was from a Warren Pub...Recently someone told me that it was probably an Eerie, and looking over covers I've realized that I did own some of these mags...Story description...These "Beautiful" people arrive on a planet, deserted except for bones as I recall...they settle in and the true inhabitants either return or come out of hiding...the "Uglies"...who proceed to devour the Beauties like scooby snacks. The page I recall vividly had a female "beauty" torso hanging from the jaws of an Ugly, and I believe that this was the end of the story. Thanks for any help, answer, direction, advice that you can give...also is there any book such as The Warren Companion that covers Eerie Pub history, art, etc? Thanks in advance for any answer you'd deem to give this unworthy soul...Bob...Thanks! sknarf1760@yahoo.com

I JUDGE A MAN NOT BY HOW HIGH HE GETS BUT BY HOW HIGH HIS MORALE IS WHEN HE HITS BOTTOM - GSPJ. I HAVE BEEN HEARING ALOT THESE DAYS ABOUT EERIE PUBLICATIONS HAVING SPORADIC DISTRIBUTION, POOR PRINT RUNS, LOW SURVIVABILITY, ETC., AND I, ROBERT ROSS, WHO WAS THERE, SINCE 1970, CAN TELL YOU, THE CLAW, AND ALL OTHER HORROR ADDICTS, E.P. OR OTHERWISE, PAST OR PRESENT, THAT THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULL! IN EVERY MAJOR CITY, IN EVERY SMALL OR LARGE TOWN, OR VILLAGE, ON ANY HALF-ASS MAGAZINE RACK OR NEWSSTAND, EERIE PUBLICATIONS WERE THERE, SELLING LIKE HELL...ALONGSIDE MAD, WARREN ETC., WHY?...IT ISN'T BECAUSE THEY NECESARILY APPEALLED TO THE UPPITY CLASS OF COLLECTORS OR READERS, THEY WERN"T ARROGANT, THEY WEREN"T PERFECT. THEY WERE JUST CONSISTENTLY THE BEST IN HORROR ANYWHERE SINCE E.A.P! I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE STORIES DIDN'T BECOME WEAKER THROUGH 1971. I AM SAYING, UNEQUIVOCALLLY, THAT THE 50'S REPRINTS, REWORKED TO SUCH MASTERFUL EFFECT BY M.F. AND ASSOCIATES, COMBINED WITH GREAT NEW WORK BY DICK AYERS, CHIC STONE, REYNOSO (GHOULS GRAAVEYARD, TOMBSTONE FOR A GHOUL, THE DEMON IS A HANGMAN,ETC) MADE THESE BOOKS STAND APART FROM ALL OTHERS. ALL MY CONTEMPORARY ASSOCIATES ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH WITH ME - EVEN TODAY! WHEN VIEWING EERIE PUBLICATIONS COVERS FROM '69 AND '70, IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE IN A CLASS UNPRECEDENTED FROM THEIR COMPETITION. WITNESS THEIR CURRENT VALUE! AS FOR THE REPRINTED 50'S STORIES - THE BEST OF THEIR ERA - IT IS HARD TO PICK A FAVOURITE - SINCE MOST OF THEM WERE SO DAMNED GOOD...THOSE THAT COME TO MIND - DECADES LATER, IN FACT, I THINK ABOUT THEM EVERY DAY - LETS SEE...DEMON FIDDLER, BLOOD AND OLD BONES, FIENDS FROM THE CRYPT, CADAVER'S REVENGE, DEMON'S DOOM, NIGHTMARE MERCHANT... THEY DON'T MAKE EM' LIKE THAT ANYMORE. UNFORTUNATELY, OR FORTUNATELY ... TODAY, AT 45, I HAVE NOTHING..., NOT EVEN A SINGLE BOOK, BUT I STILL HAVE "A BRAIN WITH WHICH TO THINK" FROM "IF I SHOULD DIE"...SO I WILL SIGN OUT WITH THE QUOTATION "THEY SENT ME TO HELL - AND I PUT IT OUT". LONG LIVE MYRON FASS THE GREAT . UNTIL NEXT TIME, EPARR.

I have been a Ditko fan since I discovered reprints of stories he did in the 1960s for Marvel, Warren, and Charlton. As I go through the pre-code reprints in the Eerie Publications magazines, I'm seeing him all over the place. I realize that this is mostly wishful thinking on my part. However the story "Until Dead-Rot!" (Witches' Tales Sept 1969 Vol 1 No 8)does contain some very Ditko-like panels. Even the lettering looks like Ditko's Warren stories.

On the first page of the story "Satan's Plaything" the rubber ball seems to have the name "Filis", or less likely "Ellis" inscribed in it. Is this the name of the artist, and if so what else did he draw? The look and feel is a little different than the usual Ajax-Farrell story. I've noticed that most of the pre-code Eerie reprints seem to come from Ajax, but there are a few exceptions. Most are good though; Eerie wisely left those shitty ACG stories for Stanley to publish. As for the new (or plagiarized) stories that Eerie printed, there appears to be at least 4 different artists who were doing them. a. Reynoso (my favorite) b. Dick Ayers c. Whoever drew, I don't know, maybe it was called "The Teeth of the Dragon" and "The Old Ghoul". d. Whoever drew "Ghoul Without Pockets". Thanks folks!

Thanks for mentioning Casadie. I'll look for that name the next time I go over my collection. I don't think the other style is even remotely similar to Jack Davis. It looks like it was drawn by a mentally-disturbed 13 year old who might have grown into a mass murderer. But hell, I like it anyway!

I saw the message asking about David Fass and whether or not he died in Florida. I used to be a close friend of his but lost track of him. Have been looking for him recently. Last I heard it was Myron who was in bad health in Deerfield, FLorida. Does anyone have any information about them? It would mean a lot to me to know.

Greetings, Glad to see other folks here who loved these ghastly little comics. I used to buy them in the early 70's when I was about 14 or 15 at the little variety store in my small town and kept them hidden - appropriately enough - in a room of the basement I called "The Crypt". That was where I also made my Creepy Crawler shrunken heads, skeletons, etc (which I used to decorate my little pretend "graveyard" under the front porch...they looked more like rotting remains if you burned them a bit.) I also remember reading these comics in my crude treehouse, knowing my parents wouldn't or couldn't get in there! One day my very Catholic mother discovered the grisly comic stash and made me burn them, tragically! Anyway those "entertaining" images of spurting blood, severed limbs, deformed creatures etc have stuck in my mind, so it was fun to discover this site! (And of course we have all grown up to be violent criminals right?) BD www.bdrak.com

well, this is probably well out of date, but... i was a good friend of david's in the gramercy park and soho days (and to some extent after he flew south). unfortunately, i must confirm that david passed away in fla back in around 98. i doubt myron survived by much, he was in prety bad shape then. oh, and i'm j. blotter.

My name is Robert Fass. Myron was my uncle, David was my cousin, and Irving was my father. I was saddened to learn on this site that David passed away in 1998. I am interested to learn more about this, as well as what happened to Myron and my other uncle Leo (who Jeff G. remarked was smelly and washed his underwear in the sink--this is true). Thanks.

I practically grew up on comics such as WEIRD, TERROR TOMB, and a host of others, the names of which escape me. I always enjoyed them more than the Warren magazines such as Eerie and Creepy due to their cheeziness and lurid feel. And who says comics don't affect you? Today I am the editor at www.novellopublishers.com, a small press that publishes humorous horror chapbooks, and I recently sold my first short story to an anthology titled DEATHGRIP: EXIT LAUGHING due later this year from hellbound Books. I miss those old gory horror comics and wish someone would reprint them already. -Nick Cato

I think the covers are the best part, though some of the stories scared the hell out me when I was 8 - 10 -years old reading them. I used to get most of them at the Green Market in downtown Salem, Virginia in the 70's. After spending a few nights in my parent's bedroom because I was so scared to be by myself at dark my mother told me she would not buy anymore of them for me if that happened again. So from then on I was afraid as I took one home to read because I knew I would have to be by myself at night, because there was no way I would ever stop buying them or asking for them. chuck a.k.a. geraldmcboingboing2003@yahoo.com

I was at a local store that sells videos the other day and while browsing the Something weird videom sectio I saw something really wierd. There were a number of videos called Voodoo tales with some familiar covers from the old eerie pubs mag of the same name. The movies on these discs were old grindhouse sleaze flicks. I didn't rcognize the exact titles but I thought my fellow lnatics who haunt this site might be interested to know the legacy lives. on.
