    That's a Berni Wrightson drawing of Uncle Creepy at the beginning of the story. Wrightson had just joined the Warren ranks in January, 1974 after leaving DC's Swamp Thing after 10 successful issues. His first Warren solo story, an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", appeared in the same issue. He also did an ink wash drawing of Uncle Creepy which appeared on the inside cover. Wrightson did a number of drawings of Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie which were used from 1974 onwards as stock images for story intros/endings, besides those beautiful frontispieces.

    Brilliantly rendered. John Severin is missed.
