To begin with . . . tfie cover
of your December issue wasthe best to date! Frank Fra-
zetta has such realism to his
art. "The Thing in the Pit" wasa real thriller! It had the EC touchot horror to the very end. Whetheryou know it or not, this is aboutthe highest compliment whichcan be said about any horror
magazine! And how I love thosesurprise endings, "Thumbs Down"was the kind of story which makesme cackle with enjoyment watch-
ing the bad guy get it in the end.
The Adam Link story was su-
perb! Why not have him as the
cover story sometime soon."Cask ot Amontillado" was
the best illustrated story this
issue. Reed Crandall has muchexactness in his work. This story
tied with "Gargoyle". I couldntdecide which was best, I tiiink
that Alex Toth has the best style
though. "The Abominable Snowi-
man was a fair story, but Sev-
erin's art made up for that. Hi^
viork in BLAZING COMBAT is
great too! By the way, when is
that fan page going to be printed?
^ Eddie EddingsHouston, Texas
First installment of my Fland-
Ish Fan club pa^e will greet yourbloodshot little eyes on pace341 -UC
Roy Krenkel's page of "Loath-
some Lore" is the best page I've
ever seen in CREEPY, It is really
fantastic-l like it. Is there anyway I could possibly get that
page other than paying a small
fortune, or bombing yojr offices
and stealing it?
It seems CREEPY is here to
stay. This is in a way unfor-
tunate, but true. One thing that
bothers me is the editorial atti-
tude. The magazine seems to tie
aimed at younger children, say
8 to 12 years of age, as are mostcomics. "Uncle Creepy" addsto this effect. Assuming that
a story is otherwise good, whichisn't necessarily the case, UncleCreepy makes the story seemmuch more juvenile just by his
presence. And the letter column,egads! "Oh, let's get with it UncleCreepy" or "After watching youset my cousin up In business,,."
It's almost as bad as ''Dear Won-der Woman". How about a little
more mature attitude? ...
in your letter column, some-one suggests presenting horroirather than just hinting at it.
Presenting horror, gruesomescenes, etc. Is the easy way out,
I think it takes more skill to
hint at horror, or present psycho-logical horror than to draw a re-
volting picture.
"Thing in the Pit" was a mon-ster story and not particularly
Eood . . . How about getting
arry Ivie to do some art? It's
much better than this script.
"Thumbs Down" was much better
artwise, but the story was, again
nothing special. "Adam Link in
Business" is the third version of
the story I've read-book, ECadaptation, and CREEPY adapta-
tion, I woh't venture an opinion
on which one is best as it's tieen
a long time since I read the ECversion. However, I prefer JoeOrlando's line work to this type(is this litho crayon?), "Caskot Amontillado" was good andthe art was Reed Crandall, It
looked a bit rushed, though,
"The Stalkers" wasn't much of a
story but Toth did a very Inter-
esting job on the art, I sort of
liked "Abominable Snowman"and I liked Severin's art. It wasmuch better than some of his
line work is, although I still like
his line worl(, "Gargoyle" hadfairly good line wori( by AngeicTorres, and a mediocre story,,.
Good luck with BLAZING COM-BAT and I'm hoping for improve-
ment in CREEPY, I still like that
Krenkel page, I'd like to frame it
and hang it on my wall,

You can't please all of the peopleall of the time, but this is ridicu-
lousl-UC
Well, it's happened again
The body snatcher's " have re-
turned. When Warren Publish-
ing Co, put out its first issues of
the monster and horror tans
best friend FAMOUS MONSTERSOF FILIMLAND, the cheapie com-panies saw their chance andflooded the market with cheaply
made and poorly constructed
imitations. It was only a matter
of time before these wise guys
cameupwithan imitation CREEPY,Today I went down to my local
magazine store to pick up CREEPY#6, which by the way is an ex-
cellent, as usual, production of
horror and macabre In black andwhite. Lo, and behold, there onthe rack, right next to CREEPYwas another magazine entitled—
^.I have a collection ot almost
all the magazines published in
the past few years in the field
ot horror, and I have never,
never, seen this monstrousltybefore, yet these publishers
claim this is their TENTH bi-
monthly edition thus Insinuating
they pre-date CREEPY, This hor-
rible excuse for entertainmentcontains the WORST artwork,
lettering and format I have ever
seen. The cover was a joke. Sobad that I don't see why anyonewould be attracted to buy it
except out of curiosity to find
out who was trying to push suchgarbage onto the public. Thestories (at least THEY call themstories) were the best exampleof grade ZZZZZZ plotless, idea-
less, hopeless writing I have ever
seen. I think the guys <n chargeof — should be banished fromthe human (or INhuman) race.
What trash!!!
As for CREEPY t6, great. Thecover alone Is worth the price
of the magazine. And a great
cover was backed up by evenbetter reading material inside.
My favorites in this issue were"The Thing in the Pit", "Caskof Amontillado" (PLEASE, morePoe) and "Gargoyle" , , , My hat
goes off to you gentlemen in
Creep's Cellar and as for the
#%$'% $C#&!*&C*&C's at —,well, who needs them? WARRENFOREVER, IMITATIONS NEVER!LONG LIVE UNCLE CREEPY!
Roy A, HansenNew York, NewYork
Such DEMONISH DEVOTION Is
enough to bring a tear to myeye (the middle one). I couldn't
have said it better myself (and
still been able to print it). BE-
WARE IMITATIONS . . . Look for
the Warren Publishing labell-UC
I enjoy, your magazine very
much and buy it regularly, I
like the stories of ADAM LINKbest, and the next time you bring
him out, 1 think he should meet a
female type robot, maybe created
by Dr, Charles Link before he
died but unknown to Adam, I
think it would add somethinggreat to the lite ot Adam Link,
You guys could think up someway for Adam to find his dreamgirl (Why not name her Eve?)
Hope to see something of this,,,

Si|a bad break last month at
a hands o( my fumbling editor.
Archie Goodwin. (Two left feet
I've heard of . . . But two left
hands??!). He left out their credit

... In your last issue you print-
ed a letter from Henry Mazzeowho says vampires can comeout in the sunlight. It may in-
terest him to know that BramStoker and Le Fanu were not
authorities on the vampire. Nei-
ther am I. but the renown Mr,
M. Summers considered themunable to move around during
the daylight hours. So don't let
your artists and writers gootup.
... By the by. Uncle Creepy,
please put in a picture ot yourcousin EERIE to prepare us for
him in December,A! HarmanDownington, Pennsylvania

THE£REEPY FAN CLUB/
HERE IT IS!! The first in whatwe liope will be a papular fea-
ture witfi you DEVOTED DE-MDNS . . . tfiis is the CREEPYFAN CLUB paRc!
For the first in a series of
biographies of our staff artists,
we are starting witti FRANKFRAZETTA, which is probablyquite aporopriate since all youFIENDISH FANS Start each issue
of CREEPY gazing in awe at
Fiendish Frank's eye-catching,terror-provoking covers (unlessyou're the type who flips througha magazine from the back, in
which case we can only say:
SHAPE UP!).
9th,
thre old, he hadtaken pencil in hand and starteddrawing , , . he hasn't stoppedsince! Even his early efforts
were relatively successful,Frank's sister was able to tradehis home-drawn comics for herplaymates' store-bought pro-ducts. His talent proven aroundthe neighborhood, Frank wasenrolled in an art course at
the Brooklyn Academy of FineArts at the npe oia age of eight!
He continued these classes until
sixteen. Here, under the inspir-
ation and instruction of classic
Italian artist, Michael Salanga,were established the roots that
make Frank Frazetta the top pro-
fessional he is today. The class
was disbanded when Mr. Salangadied. Had he lived, says Frank,
"I'd still be taking lessons fromhim!"
At sixteen, Frank broke into
the comic book field doing afeature for TALLEY-HO comicscalled "Snowman", From there,he began working regularly onfunny animal type comics, bulwas soon branching out into
vividly realized action and ad-venture features. Some of thesewere DAN BRAND, SHININGKNJGHT, TOMAHAWK, THUNDA(Frank's first Issue handlingof this Tarzan-like characterhas made it a collector's Itemamong comics fans), and a series
of "Buck Rogers" covers forFAIvlOUS FUNNIES. Like manyof our CREEPY staff, Frank con-tributed to the much admiredEC comics, often working in
collaboration with AL WILL-IAMSON. In 1952, he got a syn-dicated comic strip, JOHNNYCOMET The strip folded after ayear, but paved the way forother offers from syndicates.One was to work with AL CAPPon "L'il Abner". Delighted towork with one of the world's
top cartoonists, Frank accepted,A strong influence in the deci-
sion may have been the fact
he and his attractive wife, Ellle,
were married on the Capp-created holiday, "Sadie Hawkins'Day". (Why fight fate?) But Frankfound the work "Almost tooeasy, too comfortable". Leavingin obvious good deal, he struck
"' "' " again, encounter-out o
Frank was born in Brook-New York, on February
By the The Frazetta way with females(drawings of them) eventuallygot his work into many mensmagazines, then, through ROYKRENKEL, Frank began do ngcovers for paperback repri ts
of Edgar Rice Burroughs' workswhich brought his paintings before the public and created a
larger audience of Frazetta fansDoing fantasy paintings s
Frank's favorite type of wo k
so the formation of CREEPYand drafting of him to do thecovers, was very much up' theFrazetta alley, as each bonechilling effort attests.
Currently, besides handl ngall cover assignments fo
CREEPY, BLAZING COMBATand the new EERIE, Frank hasmoved into the world of moveadvertising and his work canbe seen in ads for "What's NewPussycat", "The Secret of MySuccess" and "The Group
Recently released was his first
record album cover, "Headsof State".
Frank and Ellie now live onlong Island where they are
actively engaged in raising their
three children, two boys, Frankieand Billy, and most recentaddition, baby daughter. Holly,
His hobbles include photo-graphy and most sports, par-
ticularly baseball la contractoffer from the N.Y. Giants in
Frank's teens nearly deprivedyou CREEPY tans of those fren-zied Frazetta covers). Askedwhat his ambitions for the fu-
ture were, Frank said he waspretty happy with what's hap-pening now and, "If it didn'tget any better, I wouldn't kick."
Our guess Is that this statementwill ne^ef be put to a test be-cause for someone with FrankFrazetta's abilities, things aregoing to get better and better!
