Simply awesome.You know when I was a kid,these kind of books were really taboo.My Mom and Dad didn't really approve,I think that's why I love these books so much today.

I take it some of you have read The Warren Companion? This was published by Twomorrows Publishing in 2001. Nearly 300 pages.
Description on Amazon reads: The Warren Companion is the ultimate compendium to the great comics of Warren Publishing, examining all the titles including Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, Blazing Combat, Help!, The Spirit, and many more! Including the most cross-indexed artist and writer listing, this tome also features a new painted cover by Alex Horley, reams of unpublished art, archival photos, examinations of Warren's competition, plus exhaustive details on Warren merchandise, conventions, top strips, most prolific contributors, foreign publications, and many other fascinating oddities! Also featuring new articles on Richard Corben, Frank Frazetta, Steve Ditko and others, and interviews with Bernie Wrightson, Jim Warren, Will Eisner, Neal Adams, Gene Colan and many more.
Really hard to find but well worth the incredible info inside. It'll set you back $80+ if you can track a used copy down on eBay or Abebooks.

...NICE. My favorites are Creepy 1 with the awesome Frazetta story and the couple of Adams issues in the teens. Any of them with Wrightson are cool. GOD BLESS....
