Eerie Archives #14

Dark Horse's Eerie Archives Volume 14 collects issues #65–69 of Warren Publishing's celebrated horror magazine in a handsome hardcover edition. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a lone astronaut in a white suit and helmet finds himself hopelessly surrounded by a swarm of hulking, monstrous green creatures — one wielding a spiked mace — while a mysterious, dark-haired figure crouches at the bottom of the chaos. It's the kind of pulpy, imaginative collision of science fiction and monster horror that made Eerie so compelling, and at $49.99 this 2013 archive volume is a fine way to experience that era in style.
