Creepy was an American horror-comics magazine launched by Warren Publishing in 1964. Like Mad, it was a black-and-white newsstand publication in a magazine format and thus did not require the approval or seal of the Comics Code Authority. The anthology magazine was initially published quarterly but later went bimonthly. Each issue's stories were introduced by the host character, Uncle Creepy. Its sister publications were Eerie and Vampirella.
Russ Jones, the founding editor of Creepy in 1964, detailed the magazine's origins and his lengthy negotiations with Warren in the memoir "Creepy & Eerie" at his website. While doing covers, illustrated stories and photo stories for Warren, Jones continued trying to sell him on the idea of doing a comics magazine, and eventually Warren agreed:
Originally it was to be a 64-page magazine. Jim cut it back to 48... I made a sketch of my host for the mag and sent it off to Jack Davis to work up a cover. Still no title. Titles are tough. Ask anyone who ever had to come up with one. One night I was sitting in the studio alone, looking at Woody's tear-sheets from the ECs, when Warren called. He was furious and demanded a name for Project D. I was looking at a balloon over an Ingels Old Witch, and in her narrative, the word "creepy" grabbed out at me. I muttered the name to Jim... We now had a title for our mag.
Jones soon departed, and in 1965, Archie Goodwin became the editor of Creepy. Joe Orlando was a behind-the-scenes story editor. Goodwin, who became one of comics' foremost and most influential writers, helped to establish the company as a major force in its field. Artists during this era included Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall, Wally Wood, Johnny Craig, Gray Morrow, Angelo Torres, Al Williamson, John Severin, Alex Toth, Neal Adams, Dan Adkins, and Steve Ditko. Creepy, which was originally published quarterly was switched to bi-monthly by the end of 1965.
After Louise Jones resigned as editor following issue 116, Dubay returned to edit the magazine using the alias "Will Richardson" until issue 126. After Dubay's departure various editors including Chris Adames, Timothy Moriarty held the position. Reprints would once again start predominantly appearing in the magazine, with many reprint issues being dedicated to a single artist. Creepy's last issue published would be issue 145 in February 1983 when Warren went bankrupt. (Less)
