Buaaaaaaah! que ridicula soy! No sabía que los comics de las revistas de terror USA clásicas y vintage que puse el otro día estaban publicadas en España en tomo, perdón.

Os dejo el link que puso @spaceintruderdetector y no me odiéis (mucho) por estar leyendolas en inglés! gracias a él, a todos y perdón, perdón!

Ni yo ni este blog somos muy de comics, pero ya hice alguna excepción en la ''regla'', y el cómic no es género ni tipo de contenido, sino un formato o soporte para contar algo como lo es cualquier otro. Así como con las peliculas, los libros y con todo, habrá algunos maravillosos, otros de tu gusto y otros que para ti no sean buenos ni adecuado, pero eso no dice que no tengan valor y sea valioso que puedas leerlos gratis o que @spaceintruderdetector se tome la molestia de buscarlos y compartirlos en su blog.

Por lo que he podido leer indagando un poco, esta obra es capital influyendo a otros y asentando la cifi en cómic en mi país, poco más sé por ahora, pero no me hago la lista y este blog es como mi diario intelectual, así que prefiero quedar de ignorante pero compartirlo ya para que lo lean a la vez aue yo y descubran conmigo.

You might remember that a few days ago I talked about horror comics and offered magazines from the last century when they were popular in that format. Thanks to @spaceintruderdetector, I was also able to offer a compilation in my native Spanish (four volumes, each with its own post and link). Today, I'm sharing a selection offered by our friend on his blog.

I've already discussed Eerie magazine itself and its historical context in previous posts. I just want to say that this is a selection and reissue from the end of the century, and that I've browsed through the volume, finding some of my favorite stories from the four complete volumes in their original English.

If you're one of my English-speaking readers and you're not familiar with the magazine, I recommend starting with this selection. Thanks to the blogger mentioned, who, by sharing treasures from the Internet Archive, makes our lives better—I mean that sincerely.

Oh, yes. I haven't included the cover of the collection because it's awful, but the inside is worth it.

Previously, I mentioned that I would be posting more digitized comics than I find on @spaceintruderdetector, and I explained that horror comics were a natural current within popular comics in the USA, a genre that never ran dry like romance comics, even though it lacked commercial space due to censorship. This continued, with new forays even among superhero publishers (who in the 80s were a refined cultural industry with hardline executives and diverse merchandising and parallel exploitation).

But this post is about horror in comics, and this blog always seeks out different cultures or a different approach to something pop. I wanted to offer you this, which I read was one of the most important magazines for the genre.

Magazine? It's a long story. Censorship (self-censorship applied to distribution, though not legally mandated) dictated the rules for comic books, the low-cost stapled booklets sold in newsstands and supermarkets. Horror managed to survive in comics by transitioning to a larger, more expensive, and higher-quality magazine format, thus falling outside the scope of the self-censorship imposed on comic books, which favored superheroes above all else. Although less accessible (visible) in retail outlets and less affordable, it was never as popular as before, but it did produce memorable magazines like this one.

Seguimos, y ya me leí los dos tomos que faltaban de la recopilación española de la revista clásica de cómic de terror Eerie que nos ofrecía @spaceintruderdetector en su blog.

Pierde un poco de fuelle, pero aún quedan unas cuantas historias buenas en los tomos 3 y 4 ¿Cuáles? Pues sé que eso depende mucho de gustos.... ¿por qué no se las leen y me comentan?
