Creepy #16 - 1st Jeff Jones art, Frank Frazetta cover, Neal Adams, Steve Ditko art

Frank Frazetta

Creepy v1 #16, 1967 - For killing a panther, an arrogant hunter receives a curse from a jungle goddess. Frank Frazetta paints her eerie portrayal on the cover, while Neal Adams opts for a more contemporary version for the interior. Drawn with great skill, this story was later reprinted in Eerie v3 #125. Jeff Jones' prehistoric tale is his first professional start in comics. It's crudely drawn but also hints at his future potential. This tale was later reprinted in Creepy #29 and #103. Steve Ditko tells of an artist whose monster drawing comes to life. Enthusiastically drawn, the story lacks the dimension of other magazine efforts. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Dan Adkins, Joe Orlando and Reed Crandall. This is 3 of 5 Creepy issues by Adams, 1 of 2 Creepy issues by Jones, 12 of 15 Creepy issues by Frazetta and 8 of 8 Creepy issues by Ditko. /// 1st start Jeff Jones / original Jones page
