I am sure most of you already
have your copies of Rebellion’s Creepy Creations reprint collection.
I received mine a while ago and I think it is a nice package. It’s great that
the collection includes not just the pages from Shiver and Shake
weeklies, but also all of the other ‘Creations’ printed in the annuals, pull-out booklets and even those that Ken Reid
drew for a competition in Buster a couple of years down the
line.
I really look forward
to Vol 1 of the World-Wide Weirdies because in my opinion Creepy Creations was
Ken’s warm-up exercise before really going to town with his next series in Whoopee!
If you read my intro
to the book, you may recall I mentioned Ken’s attempts to get a similar series
published in the US. Ken drew quite a few detailed samples for the publisher.
It would have been great if some of those could have been included in
the book. Check out a couple of the drawings below, in colour. The image of the
Monster
of Molasses was supplied to me by Julius Howe who owns the original.
If you think these are
scary, wait till you see my next post in a few days’ time…
Click on the POWER PACK banner in the
right-hand column and get your copy of the POWER PACK OF KEN REID - the deluxe
two-volume set of Ken’s strips in WHAM!, SMASH! and POW! comics of the ‘60s.
