Warrant Publishing Company specialises in horror comics and illustrated magazines. It focuses on reviving the style and spirit of the classic Warren Publishing titles from the 1960s and 1970s (such as Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella), which were known for their black-and-white horror anthology stories, dramatic artwork, and magazine format, free of the Comics Code Authority restrictions. Michael Hoffman used to publish his Eyrie magazine takeoff of Eerie through them, but now uses his own name to do so as Hoffman International. While Warrant Publishing continues its Vampirella takeoff as Vampiress Carmilla and their own Frank Frazetta covers. But both sit side by side, with their own period-appropriate horror anthologies in the Massive Indies section of Lunar Distribution and so they do here as well… almost as if readers can jump from one to the other and back again, willy nilly… well, willy or nilly. Your choice.
