OUT NOW: Ken Reid’s Creepy Creations

The collection of Ken Reid’s Creepy Creations is out now!

For the first time ever in a single collection, marvel at The Many-Headed Monster from Monmouth! Tremble at the sight of Terry the Tellible! Recoil in horror from The Fork-Eating Spaghetti Spook! And much more besides!

A testament to Ken Reid’s artistic genius and his hugely creative imagination, these illustrations have been collected and lovingly restored in all their (creepy) glory.

The 10th March 1973 saw the first issue of Shiver and Shake released on the newsstands in Great Britain. Like its stablemate Whizzer and Chips, it was two comics in one, with Shiver mainly consisting of horror-themed comedy strips. On the back page of the comic, readers were treated to ‘A crazy “Monster Piece” for you to cut out and collect!’, and thus the Creepy Creations were born! Readers were invited to send in their sketches for further instalments. Winners would receive a pound note for their work and see their creation brought to full-colour life by various Shiver and Shake artists (mainly by Reid). 

The Creepy Creations were a grand triumph. Seventy-nine appeared in total, with further entries appearing in annuals and specials. The success of this feature led to both the Wanted posters and WorldWide Weirdies being created for Whoopee!

PRE-ORDER NOW: the complete El Mestizo

He ain’t on anybody’s side but his own – Alan Hebden and Carlos Ezquerra’s groundbreaking character El Mestizo is now available to pre-order!

Bursting out of the pages of legendary Battle Picture Weekly and perfect for fans of Moebius’s Blueberry and the motion picture Django Unchained, El Mestizo was once a slave who managed to escape to Mexico. Now he’s come back over the border – a mercenary for hire!

It is 1862 – a time of great turmoil as the American Civil War tears a nation in two, where dangerous men prosper through bloodshed. But does El Mestizo really work for either side, or is he playing them both?

Pre-order El Mestizo now >>

Despite running for only for 16 weeks after its debut in 4th June 1977, El Mestizo was one of Carlos Ezquerra’s favourite characters – written specially for him by Alan Hebden at Battle editor Dave Hunt’s request Ahead of its time, this unusual Western showed a different view of the American Civil War with an anti-hero who was one of the first lead characters of colour in British comics. A groundbreaking piece of work and a true tribute to Ezquerra’s comic book vision!

This gorgeous hardcover collection includes the complete story, plus a new introduction by Alan Hebden.
