"With solid writing and unforgettable art ranging from ultra-realistic to bad-acid trips, Creepy rightfully holds a place in comics history." -Fangoria.com
"Creepy, in my opinion, is the greatest horror anthology comic of all time. The lovingly reproduced archives Dark Horse puts out are a result of the influential nature of Creepy on many of the top names in horror today--and they really brought it with getting some of the top names in comics to work on these stories." -EatGeekPlay.com
"There's no small amount of charm to these stories. Each little tale is like a time capsule, evocative of their era and with an atmosphere of dread . . . The art is, almost without question, stunning." -BigComicPage.com
"It is these comics that set the precedents for horror comics now, hell, for horror in general. These comics are full of old-school scary fun for a new-school audience that are still as entertaining now as they were back then." -Fangoria.com
