About the Art

This groundbreaking issue, published by Avon Periodicals, is widely regarded as the first true horror comic book, marking the dawn of the Pre-Code Horror era. The cover, illustrated with haunting precision, depicts a sinister ghoul advancing on a bound woman amidst crumbling ruins, illuminated by an ominous moonlit glow. This imagery reflects post-war fascination with suspense and terror, capturing the era’s growing appetite for darker narratives.

The creative team included luminaries such as Joe Kubert and Fred Kida, whose contributions shaped the genre. Despite its initial one-shot status, Eerie laid the foundation for horror comics’ enduring legacy.

Bob Fujitani

Robert Fujitani (1921–2020), a Japanese-Irish artist trained at NYC’s American School of Design, blended precise draftsmanship with noir-infused dynamism. Key works include Hangman, Crime Does Not Pay, Dr. Solar: Man of the Atom, and Turok Son of Stone, often under pseudonyms during WWII-era prejudice. Later mastered Flash Gordon strips and animation.
