This page is about "Eerie", a classic horror comic magazine, not the tv show. --Emb021 21:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Image issue(s)

The fair use of image:Williamson al eerie1966.jpg in this article is questionable. Listed below is/are the reason(s) for this:
• Significance: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase, or its lack would significantly hinder, understanding the topic of the article. Full policy

An illustration of the interior of one of the issues seems less than useful in the article.

If the above concern(s) can be addressed in light of the relevant policies and/or guidelines, the image use can be retained. If not, the image needs to be removed from the article.

The issue with Williamson al eerie1966.jpg has been addressed.

CCA not required

The intro says that the Comics Code was not "required" because of its black-and-white magazine nature. The CCA was not a requirement, even for color comics. It wasn't a legal matter, and Dell Comics managed to get distributed without the seal. It may be better to say that it put it outside the control of, the aegis of, the approval of, or perhaps even the censorship from, the Comics Code Authority. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:49, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I used "outside the control of" and linked to a book which discusses why this was important. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 02:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

• • • My understanding is that black and white OVERSIZE magazine-style publications were outside the reach of the CCA -- and that Gaines at MAD used this very technique to avoid the negative consequences of being outside the reach of the Code. Same for Creepy and Eerie under Warren. The political and public relations ramifications were at least as important as any legal ones. Chesspride216.144.161.51 (talk) 00:02, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

• https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Eerie indicates that there really weren't a lot of clicks on the hatnote, but there's so little outgoing traffic that the hatnote is #3 on the list, so it's completely plausible that this is namespace pollution, esp. given the other page view statistics.

Wrong dates

Currently the article lists the ashcan first issue as being published in september 1966, with regular bimonthly newstand starting with issue 2, and issue 11 being september 1967 - those dates do not line up. The Grand Comics Database listed in references claims that it was september 1965 for the ashcan first issue and puts issue 2 in march 1966 and everything seems to line up from there. Is any more research warranted, or should it just be corrected as per GCD? Also, should the top right box list publication date from the first newsstand issues, as it does now, or should the ashcan issue be included as well (would be "September 1965" instead of current "early 1966")? 2A02:A31A:C23B:9980:4956:BD61:B748:ADDD (talk) 16:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
