Creepy #48 - Warren

One of my favorite things is a collection of comic covers all together--I think they look like gangbusters when you've got a bunch of them, so I think I bought this "best of" issue based solely on the cover.

This is all previously published material of course, but it was some of Warren's best:
"The Coffin of Dracula" by Archie Goodwin and Reed Crandall, a two-part Dracula sequel from Creepy #'s 8 and 9
"The Castle on the Moor!" by Johnny Craig, a spooky-castle tale from Creepy #9
"Moon City!" by Larry Englehart and Al McWilliams, about man's colonization of the Moon, from Creepy #4
"Swamped!" by Goodwin and Angelo Torres--vampires in the bayou! From Creepy #3
"Thumbs Down!" by Anne T. Murphy and Al Williamson, a horror tale of revenge set in the Roman Empire, from Creepy #20
"The Cosmic All" by Wally Wood, a classic space-exploration tale, filled with Wood-style heroic spacemen, wondrous elaborate rocketships, and creepy aliens, from Creepy #38
"Drink Deep!" by Eando Binder and John Severin, about a power-mad ship's captain who gets his comeuppance, from Creepy #7
"The Adventure of the German Student!" by Goodwin and Jerry Grandinetti, adapted from the tale by Washington Irving, about a young man convinced he is possessed by an evil spirit, featuring an absolutely knock-out art job by Grandinetti. Just look at the cinematic, moody splash:
...why this story is buried in the middle of the Captain Company ad section, I have no idea. It's one of the best tales in the book, and that's saying something.

Man, kids got a lot for $1.00 back in 1972...
