It was January 1947 that the first real, indisputable horror comic came along-Eerie Comics #1, published by Avon. It had a striking cover that was, well... eerie, depicting a strange-looking man with a knife on the steps of some sort of ruin, approaching a bound woman, a theme that was to be repeated countless times in the future... Whet your appetite for these horrors inside including "The Eyes of the Tiger," by Bob Fujitani, featuring a pet tiger who gets his first taste for blood; no surprises there then? "Dead Man's Tale," by Jon Small gives us the story of a bottle that gave Myron Morgan wealth and how he died when it was destroyed. "The Man-Eating Lizards," Joe Kubert-when a plane goes down in the ocean, the surviving crew members find themselves on an island of giant, man-eating lizards. "The Strange Case of Henpecked Harry," by Fred Kida, tells how Harry Horton plots the death of his wife, only to be driven mad by guilt.
