Creeps #15 (Warrent) Out Now!

The Creeps #15 (Warrent Publishing)

(w) & (a) Various

The latest issue of the back & white horror magazine is finally in UK comic stores and is the first newly published comic I have purchased since coming out of an 8 month stay in hospital. Others of course are now on order but The Creeps is kind of a priority for me because I like the format so much and the content is a continuation of the long gone Warren mags Creepy & Eerie that I am a big fan of.

Besides the wonderful Frank Fazetta cover, this issue contains several stories all of which are good reading! I was glad to see a good old letters page as well. So lacking in today's comics sadly. The comic kicks off with a story set in 1920's London called The Hydeing Place by Lou Mougin with art by Reno Manquis. In this a man wrongly interferes with someone else's business without knowing the full truth.

Ghosts appearing in a cathedral being built over stonehenge is the following story by Nicola Cuti with spooky art from Santos Zaballos. Sometimes you should listen to the apparitions warnings! The Science fiction horror adventure,  At the End of the Day by Don Glut and art by Gallego is my favourite story in this edition. Sometimes you should leave things where you find them.

A more traditional tale, Interview with the Werewolf set in a prison cell follows also written by Don Glut with art by Nik Poliwoko. Nice little twist to this one. Nicola Cuti then pens a rather odd tale of sword & sorcery in The Enchanted Sword. With art by Jeff Easly this is one you will need to read or yourself as I don't want to publish any spoilers.

Billy Brown Healer is also written by Nicola Cuti (he's been very busy it would seem!) about, well a healer coming to town. Just stay away from the dead alright! The mag finishes with The Night's doing at Deadman's Gulch, the moral being let a dead Chinaman rest in peace.

I just love the black and white magazine format. This is the sole one on the market with good writing and great art. Do yourself a favour pop out and buy this, order the 2019 Annual and wait for the horror to grow.

Sleep tight.........
