Anybody familiar with these black & white horror comics from the 70's? Wild, over the top covers and crazy, unusually dumb & gory stories inside. Definitely more pulpy than Warren's Creepy, Eerie & Vampirella.

Bad timing - I just put my comics into storage. Some of the overseas comics/magazines had some great covers! |

Awesome! Horror comics from the begin of the comic industry until the 70's kicked so much ass. I'm not into a lot fo newer stuff (Living Dead's cool, but not the same deal.) The best part is the cover art, makes me want to dig up my "Tales from the Crypt" anthology. I can stare at the covers of these things and never read the comic. They remind me of Itallian and old Mexican horror movie posters too, a lot fo the same attributes. |

Man when I was a kid in the 70's & early 80's I used to always go down to the local newspaper shop and get new horror comics. There was this one about an army base infected with vampires. I still remember loving that comic, but cannot remember the name of it to save my life. wish I could because I'd buy it again! |

I'm sure this isn't what you were looking for Lixx, but this looks hilariously awesome. It's a world gone MAD!  And I remember Creature Commandos! (Why was the vampire's name "Velcro"?)

Punkin it wasn't either of those, but thanks for trying to find it. I think it had to have been btw the years 78-81. Might have been DC? The story definitely had a vampire plot to it, and I know army guys were infected. All things undead scared me as a kid. |

Those are awesome!!! Totally amazing. I'd love to see some of that stuff reprinted! (or in a flea market box for a quarter!) |
