God bless Jim Warren.
The blurbs on the covers of Warren magazines are almost like poetry:
Eerie
#53 – “His mind is trapped in the body of a 2000-year-old mummy…and the body is forcing him to destroy men…women…and even monsters!”
#60 – “Exterminator One! He was created half-man half-machine! For one purpose: to kill!”
#66 – “The hero lord battles a mad magician’s seven trials! Demons. Goblins. Banshees. Sea monsters. Dwarves. Gnomes. And death!”
#79 – “He was death on cleats!”
#81 – “She’s big! She’s beautiful! She’s atop the Empire State Building! Why?“
#91 – “Dark evil lives! …Brought from heaven in a death star from hell!”
#115 – “They were trapped by blood-lusting ravagers! Victims of drug-crazed killers! ‘Night of the Jackass!'”

#17 – “She loathed them! Detested them! Hated their oily bodies with a murderous passion! The only thing she loved was to hear their metal hides crunching under her hammer!”
#23 – “They teleported through deepest space…at least pieces of them did…in the blood splattered classic ‘Teleport 2010!'”
Creepy
#60 – “Lucien was a weird little boy with a big imagination! With his magic rock he created mind-made monsters!”
#64 – “A spaceman? A monster? A god…or a ghoul? Who is the tormented decaying man?”
#79 – “There were three kinds of people…the living…the dead…and those who were somewhere in between!”
#84 – “Play ball! The grenade is pitched at Jackie-7! The robot must make a hit…before the outfielder catches it…pulls the pin…and puts the rusty ‘relic’ out…for good!”
#85 – “The great white hunter stalks the abominable yeti in a grisly game of ‘Hide and Go Mad!'”
