You cant believe how many things there are to be afraid of! First, forget black catsRay Fawkes (Justice League Dark) and Tomm Coker (Zombie Bomb!) will make you terrified of blackbirds! And Matthew Southworth (Stumptown) takes you further into the dark than youve ever imagined! Better learn to read from behind your fingers!
There is of course a final strip (from Bill Parente and Ernie Colon) which will please nostalgists and genre junkies, even a real letters page and a Braun/Bagge rear cover, but Creepy #14 malingers because of Matthew Southworth.

I have to say the Tales of the Crypt influence in the book seems a bit out-of-place, with the Uncle Creepy zinger following the second story taking me out of the moment a bit, but it's a uniformly fine crafted book with the Dark Horse polish I've come to have a significant admiration for. Talent showcase books can be a mixed bag but this is an example of doing it right. Read Full Review
