In the golden age of horror comics, few titles capture the eerie charm and gory glee quite like Creepshow #1. Released in July 1982 by New American Library, this one-shot adaptation of the cult classic film—penned by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero—delivers five macabre tales, each dripping with vintage EC Comics flair. With artwork by the legendary Jack Kamen, this issue is a must-have for horror aficionados and collectors alike.
A Ghoulish Anthology That Delivers
Each story in Creepshow #1 serves up a deliciously twisted morality play, from the undead patriarch demanding his Father's Day cake to the hapless farmer's encounter with a meteorite that brings a creeping doom. Kamen's illustrations perfectly complement King's dark humour and Romero's cinematic vision, making each page a visual treat for fans of the macabre.
Collector's Gem: Value Beyond the Frights
Beyond its chilling narratives, Creepshow #1 has become a sought-after collectible. According to Key Collector Comics, copies in good condition can fetch between $20 and $215, depending on their grade and preservation. Its unique blend of horror pedigree and artistic craftsmanship makes it a standout piece in any collection.
