Eerie v3 #7 - Frank Frazetta cover, Steve Ditko art

Frank Frazetta

Eerie v3 #7, 1967 - Uncommonly understated, this Frank Frazetta cover lacks the impact of other Warren magazines. The original painting is horizontal, forcing the publisher into fitting it within a vertical format. Inside, Steve Ditko's tale is about a hit man who undergoes surgery to change his face and elude capture. The artist uses gray washes to thoughtful effect throughout the story (see interior page below). Unfortunately, the simplicity of the drawings, repetitive layouts and subpar title page mar the whole effort. This story was reprinted in Eerie v3 #135 and the Eerie Annual 1972. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Gene Colan and Dan Adkins. This is 5 of 8 Eerie issues by Ditko and 4 of 7 Eerie issues by Frazetta.
