Eerie's "Weird": Volume 4:Gwandanaland Comics #2765 - Classic Horror in Vintage Picto-Fiction!
When Eerie Publications hit the scene in the mid-60's they hit upon an interesting idea for writing their horror stories --- they just wouldn't do it. Why pay writers, they apparently thought, when there were so many great horror comic stories already out there? So, Eerie took stories already in print, mostly from the early 1950s, and gave them to artists to redraw in a modern vein, generally more graphic, more gory. Sometimes the original story was reworked, but more often it was redrawn altogether. This was not, strictly speaking, legal --- in fact, it was piracy. Still, either no one noticed, perhaps thinking that the story seemed vaguely familiar at times, or no one was left from those companies to care. Either way, Eerie Publications put out some excellent work, and left comic historians with an interesting study. WEIRD was the first Eerie title and had a great 67-issue run over the life of the line --- some classic examples of the excellent stories of the Golden Age of Horror and the modern artistic interpretation – comic history from Gwandanaland!
This book reprints the Issues – V3#4-V4#3 --- NOTE: Eerie was not shy about reprinting stories, so you will find a lot of overlap between WEIRD and the other Eerie titles.
