Joe Kubert art; 1st stand-alone horror comic, bondage cvr
Eerie #1 is a vital first of the Golden Age, with this one-shot hitting the stands as the first true horror comic. Of course, it's no surprise that the book spawned from the notoriously populist Avon Periodicals. The company was still taking a big gamble on a comic packed with cover-to-cover creepiness. A two-page piece featuring Goofy Ghost is the only relief from tales of man-eating lizards, a nagging murdered wife, and more. (The art includes contributions by Joe Kubert and George Rousso.)
Eerie #1 sports a pioneering classic horror cover, too, courtesy of Bob Fujitani. Sadly, Avon wouldn't bother with a second issue. The company waited until 1951 to bring back Eerie amidst the success of EC Comics. The first issue of the revived Eerie would feature a reprint of "The Strange Case of Henpecked Harry" from this true pop-culture artifact.
This sharp 5.0 lands solidly in the middle of the 118 copies on the CGC Census, and offers an exceptionally strong focal point. Any wear is safely distanced from the sordid cover image of our bound heroine under attack from a knife-wielding robed maniac with enduringly red eyes.
