* Warren Publishing's 1960s horror comics such as ''Magazine/CreepyMagazine'', ''Eerie Magazine,'' and ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' were spiritual successors to the horror comics produced by Creator/ECComics in the late '40s and early '50s like ''Tales From the Crypt'' and ''The Haunt of Fear''. The [=EC=] comics had vanished in 1954 due to UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode banning all violent imagery and macabre themes from comic books; Warren exploited a loophole by publishing its comics in magazine size (10.5" x 8.5", as opposed to 10.25" x 7" like a regular comic) in order to feature mature content while the Code was still in effect.

General clarification on work content


* Creator/{{Christopher Priest|Comics}}'s ''ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}'' run is a tonal and stylistic successor to his seminal ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' run. It could best be described as "Black Panther [[JustForFun/XMeetsY if]] it had a VillainProtagonist."
