I 1st read artist Tim Vigil's work for Silver Wolf publ.' Grips. It was like Wolverine on acid. Then came his Faust & I was hooked. I picked up Vigil's horror comics whenever they came out -

Pacific Comics, during the 80's, publishes a horror anthology series called Twisted Tales. Lasting only a few years, the book is still talked about today. The best horror artists & writers worked on Twisted. It's sister comic, Alien Worlds is equally respected. Here are some of the covers.

When Twisted Tales ended (it jumped over to Eclipse for it's final 2 issues), Eclipse stayed with a horror anthology series with it's Tales of Terror book. Tales of Terror went 12 issues with some stunning covers 19 the 80's. Here are 9 of them -

#2 John Begley


#4 John Bolton

As we coast on in to the 90's, Horror Comics, once again, become harder to find at the lcs. Reprint sales start to boom & publishers mine the pre-code publishers for reprint collections. Indies become the main publishers of horror, still a void is felt. Artists drawing horror, tend to go gonzo -

Eternity/Malibu publishes 2 excellent Werewolf books called Howl in the late 80's.

cover by an artist known as Madman -

In 1991, Eclipse tackles Richard Matheson's I Am Legend w/ art by Elman Brown. It was amazing!

In 1989, Eternity Comics publishes a 2 issue comic based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow called The Headless Horseman. I can't find my issues but I remember it being pretty good. Looks like Madman was up to no good again-

Kelly Jones, the renowned Batman, Swamp Thing, Deadman, etc ... artist, drew some horror during the 90's. His style matched perfectly.

Marvel was slated to publish Kelly's Creepshow sequel, Creepshow 2, but they never did. Here are a few of the unpublished pages along w/ some other horror work -

As far as classic anthology horror comics, the 90's were lacking. That being said, a lot of horror was being published. Hellboy blew our minds. Elvira's House of Mystery was a fun throwback that was appreciated.
Hellblazer over at DC's Vertigo offered some real & legitimate scares. However, we'll have to bounce to the 2000's to find some scars stand-alones & minis.

What sort of Horror Comics were big in th early 2000's? I'll give you a hint. The subject matter was everywhere, the world, including me, had gone ZOMBIE crazy.

In 2005 Frank Cho started a zombie book for Image but went nowhere with it. Never finished. -
