The mold was broken and shattered into a million and one fragments when Creepy began promoting their publication and the many artists that would leave a legacy in the comic world.

The Creepy covers have begun to usher in a new comic audience, and due to the many great artists that contributed to its success-comic fans have accepted this magazine as a cult classic from the past.

This cover is not one of the run of the mill comic art-but one of the most important covers in horror comic art history for many social reasons. This artist is one of the most important painters in the horror comic genre, when you view his work-it is like you are peering into a mirror of decisive story telling without bearing the words of the story itself.

This cover art is immensely intense in its artistic design and how it communicates with the viewer. The vampire spawn begs the viewer and comic fan to walk into a world where there is mystery and suspense in a most terrifying way.

The artistic quality and style of this artist has an enormous following due to his unique style and approach to his subject matter.

This is one of the reasons why this cover will remain as one of the masterpieces of the modern day age of horror classics.

This cover represents a staple of a trained artist giving the comic community a pleasurable walk in the past of great comic modern art.
