Today's feature covers Warren's most prolific cover artists. These stats include Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, 1984/1994, The Rook, Blazing Combat and The Goblin. It also features any annuals of these magazines. These totals do not include any reprints of previous covers (reprints from external sources, which were particularly apparent during Warren's last couple of years are included). Likewise, any covers that were created by reprinting and coloring internal panels are also not included. I have included back covers as well when they were formal covers (as opposed to ads or reprinted material).

Warren Swipes (Part 2)
Today's post is the second in a series showing some of the swipes that I've spotted in Warren comics over the years. While the first entry (see here) focused on swipes from outside sources, this one focuses on swipes that are completely contained within stories that appeared in Warren's magazines. Note: In all instances the original is posted first, then the swipe.
WARNING - This post contains nudity
Exterminator One/Love Strip
Exterminator One was a continuing series drawn by Paul Neary that appeared in Eerie. The second part of the series (appearing in Eerie #63) introduces a character named Slaughter who acts as an antagonist against the Exterminator. The character's design was a direct copy of the main character of the comic story "Love Strip" as drawn by Luis Garcia that appeared in the french publication Pilote. Several panels are direct swipes from that story, a couple of notable examples I have included here. The character from Love Strip was modeled after Spanish comic book artist Carlos Giminez, a friend of Garcia's who had contributed art on that story. Ironically enough, Warren ended up reprinting Love Strip in Vampirella (in issue 44), and the issue ended up coming out right about the same time as the issue that featured this Exterminator story.
The Castle, The Dungeon and All/The Winter of the Last Combat
Vicente Alcazar, who had a number of stories in Warren's comics (mostly in Creepy) came off as a sort of Luis Garcia-lite, and there were several instances where his stories contained swipes of Garcia's work. The one today is from the story "The Castle the Dungeon and All", from Vampirella 51. This image was a swipe from the Luis Garcia story "The Winter of the Last Combat", which also appeared in Pilote. This was another story reprinted in Vampirella (issue 43) as "The Wolves at War's End".
Three Old Women
This particular image of an old woman was used in three seperate Warren stories, by three seperate artists, making it particularly notable. I am not sure of the original source. Of the three, the Ramon Torrents story was the first published, although that doesn't necessarily mean the other two swiped from him.
These are from the stories:
The Stone of Power (Creepy 53) - art by Ramon Torrents
Return Trip (Vampirella 27) - art by Jose Gonzalez
Memoirs (Vampirella 30) - art by Fernando Fernandez

Herma/The Saga of Honey Dew Melons
"The Saga of Honey Dew Melons", which appears in 1984 #1 features some amazing and sexy Esteban Maroto art, although like his story in the subsequent issue (covered in the prior entry), it contains multiple swipes. This one features multiple panels taken from "Herma" by Jose Gonzalez. Incidentally enough Herma ended up being reprinted in a later issue of 1984 (issues 8 - 10), causing one to believe that Gonzalez may have swiped from Maroto, but Herma was originally done several years earlier.

Warren Publishing Statistics (Part 2)
Today I'll be covering the writing side of the Warren stories. Similar to the previous post, this covers Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, Blazing Combat, 1984/1994, The Rook and The Goblin. The totals do not include Famous Monsters of Filmland, Help! or The Spirit.
From a writing standpoint, I've taken a similar stance as I have with the art in regards to the 1 page frontispieces and have not included them in these totals. Also note that these may not be as accurate as the art numbers, there were certain instances where credits were not provided in the magazines. For those I have utilized credits from other sources such as The Warren Companion, Gathering Horror or Richard Arndt's Warren bibliography. Also Warren stories were frequently rewritten, and the credits for the stories as a result are not always accurate. For example, all of the Dax stories in Eerie were credited to Esteban Maroto, but were rewritten by various writers who were not credited. There were numerous instances where stories were drawn and then completely rewritten (or an entirely new story was created and put on a story that had been written by someone else) and typically the original author for such stories is unknown.

For The Rook, Bill Dubay was first with 29 stories, no one else was in double digits. Also, for Blazing Combat, Archie Goodwin was credited with 28 stories, only 2 others were credited with writing, a single story each (Wally Wood and Reed Crandall).
Bill Dubay's dominance over writing in Warren is quite apparant particularly in 1984/1994, for which he has more than three times as many stories as the second placer. Most of these stories appeared in the latter half of Warren's run following his resignation as editor of Creepy/Eerie/Vampirella in 1976.

Warren Publishing Statistics (Part 1)
The first blog post from me in about a year and a half, but I hope to not make this an isolated event. Today will feature the first in a multiple part feature. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope to have some more traditional features in future posts.
The appendix to the Warren Companion offers a section featuring some statistics relating to Warren's staff, in particular focusing on the most prolific story artists, cover artists and story writers in Warren's history. This post is inspired in part based on that feature, largely because I thought providing some more detailed information may be helpful, as well as trying to address some mistakes I found (for example Ididro Mones, a prolific artist was left out entirely). For a self proclaimed stats geek like myself this is something that interests me a lot, and I compiled this data while slowly building up my Warren collection over the years.
This first post focuses on Warren's most prolific story artists. Only full length stories are included (1 page frontispieces are not, althoguh they will be included in a future post). Magazines included when compiling this data included those published in Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, Blazing Combat, 1984/1994, The Rook, The Goblin and the occasional comic story included in Famous Monsters/Monsters World (of which there were few). I have not included anything included in Help! or The Spirit since I don't own any issues of those publications. For collaborations, each artist involved was credited for a full story.
I've included the top 40 overall, as well as any artist with double digit figures for individual magazines, except for 1984/1994 which I included the top 10. Note that for The Rook, Lee Elias, with 13 stories was the only one in double digits so a ranking for that title has been omitted.

Some interesting facts:
-Warren's usage of international artists is particularly apparent, of the top 10 only 1 artist is American (Tom Sutton). Spanish Artists from Seleciones Illustrada make up 6 of the top 10, including the top 4.
-Reed Crandall was the most prolific of the former EC artists to work for the company, appearing near the bottom of the top 20.
-Alex Nino's dominance in 1984/1994 is quite apparant, with him having nearly twice as many stories as the second placer. Numerous issues contain multiple stories from him.
-Jose Gonzalez has a whopping 54 stories in Vampirella, which is more stories in a single magazine than any other artist, although a mere 5 in Warren's other titles, all of which appear in 1984/1994.

Some interesting facts:
-Warren's usage of international artists is particularly apparent, of the top 10 only 1 artist is American (Tom Sutton). Spanish Artists from Seleciones Illustrada make up 6 of the top 10, including the top 4.
-Reed Crandall was the most prolific of the former EC artists to work for the company, appearing near the bottom of the top 20.
-Alex Nino's dominance in 1984/1994 is quite apparant, with him having nearly twice as many stories as the second placer. Numerous issues contain multiple stories from him.
-Jose Gonzalez has a whopping 54 stories in Vampirella, which is more stories in a single magazine than any other artist, although a mere 5 in Warren's other titles, all of which appear in 1984/1994.
