Eerie #57
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Stridespider Sponge-Rot" is a chilling tale from Eerie #57, where grief drives Dr. Clervil to forge a son from mismatched parts—only for that creation to seek vengeance after his creator’s murder. Written by Greg Potter and brought to life with grotesque elegance by Richard Corben, the story unfolds with a haunting blend of body horror and emotional weight. Ken Kelly’s cover captures the unsettling essence of the tale, a perfect match for this standout issue from 1974.
In "Stridespider Sponge-Rot," Spook races against time when Jeesala warns him that Sarena is summoning a zombie army. As the undead rise in sluggish pursuit, Spook must outmaneuver their slow, relentless advance—until a single, precise flying kick turns the tide, sending the sorceress into a blazing ritual fire and collapsing her army into stillness.
In the chilling tale "null" from Eerie #57 (1974), a grieving scientist’s desperate act of creation sets a terrible course when his artificial son, born of stolen parts and sorrow, begins to remember what he was never meant to know. After the doctor’s death, the child—silent, stitched together, and haunted by fragments of life—seeks a justice no one expected.
