Uncle Creepy

Uncle Creepy is a ghoulish horror host who serves as the sinister master of ceremonies for the anthology magazine Creepy, introducing readers to tales of terror with macabre wit and menace.

Few figures in horror comics carry the same deliciously macabre charm as Uncle Creepy, the ghoulish host who has been welcoming readers into chambers of dread since his debut in Creepy #18 in 1968, conjured by the legendary team of Archie Goodwin and Reed Crandall right in the heart of the Silver Age. Over a remarkable span stretching across 55 years, this sinister master of ceremonies has haunted the pages of Creepy and its archival collections, keeping some remarkable company along the way — from the likes of Cousin Eerie to icons such as Superman, Blackhawk, and even Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. With a key issue to his name and a publishing life that reaches all the way to 2023, Uncle Creepy is a testament to the enduring appeal of horror anthology hosting done right — a collector's ghoul worth every creaking page.
