Creepy Presents Richard Corben!

Richard Corben was unique. I'm not aware of anyone who created art that looked like his, and to be honest I cannot fathom what his inspirations were. The earliest artwork from the pages of Creepy and Eerie in this tome are classic in style, but feature Corben's distinctive flair for anatomy which compressed the world in oddball ways. The later examples though showcase some of the most mind-blowing artwork produced in the Bronze Age, art with a lush three-dimensional quality which was unseen in any other venue at that time.

(This is my favorite Corben cover for obvious reasons.)

Corben also drew some of the most voluptuous people ever committed to the page. His women are wet dreams, big and gifted with full an ample bosoms and equally ample asses and are often quite willing to run about in such a way as to maximize the reader's ability to see that ampleness. But Corben was rarely sexist in that his men were likewise extreme examples of virility, often portrayed with manhood which beggared belief. This unaffected celebration of the human body, and the bizarre exaggeration of it makes Corben's work singular. This is the largest of these single-talent collections to come from Dark Horse and it offers some fascinating stories, all with art that dazzles. Above is my absolute favorite Corben image. To read and enjoy Corben's very first story for Warren titled "Frozen Beauty" check out this link. 

Here are some more of Corben's Warren covers contained in this collection. 

This is just the beginning. There is more great Corben to come.
