Eerie v3 #3 - Frank Frazetta cover, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Steve Ditko art

Frank Frazetta

Eerie v3 #3, 1966 - Frank Frazetta begins the issue with his frightening cover of a luminescent sea creature. Inside, Al Williamson chronicles the tale of a haunted lighthouse. This ghostly tale is rendered in a clean, contemporary style consistent with other late silver age works. Alex Toth tells of an unconventional architect and his unusual dream house. Spontaneously drawn, his page layouts have a strong sense of design and pacing. Perhaps most surprising is Steve Ditko's story of a night in a cursed hotel room. His artwork, using parallel and cross-hatched lines, has extraordinary depth and richness. Williamson's story was later reprinted in Eerie v3 #42, Ditko's in >Creepy #21 and Eerie v3 #42 and Toth's in >Eerie v3 #16, Creepy #139, Eerie v3 1972 annual and the Alex Toth Doodle Book. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Angelo Torres. This is 1 of 8 Eerie issues by Ditko, 2 of 7 Eerie issues by Frazetta, 2 of 5 Eerie issues by Toth and 1 of 2 Eerie issues by Williamson.
