Here's the first four issues of SCREAM!, the short-lived comic from the UK that sort of came and went in the mid-80's. Being that I was only about 3 (and American) when SCREAM! came out, I'd never really heard much about it, so it was cool checking them out when I found them. Well, these aren't my scans, so I mean it was cool checking out the scans when I found them to download. The covers are pretty weak compared to what you'd get with any issue of Creepy or Eerie, or the Tales From the Crypt/Vault of Horror comics, but the interior artwork is great. For more info on SCREAM, I suggest you take a look at the SCREAM! Back From The Depths site. They have a lot of information on the comic, plus a couple of issues to check out as well.
I was 13 when this came out but i don't remember seeing it, i probably hadnt quite discovered horror, i remember getting a british comic called "Warlord" which was a war comic, one issue came with a free bullet pendant, i can't imagine that happening today. There was a horror comic for girls in Britain I remember called "Misty", although I'm male i bought one & remember it being really crap.
ReplyDeleteHeh heh, just looking inside issue 1 & saw 2 people who, though household name in Britain, won't mean much to anyone else. The cartoon of Bruce Forsyth chained up, Forsyth is a tv entertainer best known for hosting game shows (he was also in the film "Bedknobs & Broomsticks") & the "Arfer" character made up to look like a vampire is actor George Cole who is best known for playing a character called Arthur Daley in a tv show called "Minder" (Arfer being the way a person from London might pronounce Arthur)...Cole was a film actor from boyhood & also starred in the horror film "Fright" which oddly enough starred his future "Minder" co star Dennis ("Scars of Dracula") Waterman.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading these first four issues.
But, you have left me with a thirst for more, more, more. So Many Questions left unanswered.
I look forward to future postings with hope.
