context_page_description: Eerie was a one-shot horror comic book cover-dated January 1947 and published by Avon Periodicals as Eerie #1. Its creative team included Joe Kubert and Fred Kida. It was the first true, stand-alone horror comic book and is credited with establishing the horror comics genre.
  After the initial issue, the title went dormant for a number of years but returned to newsstands as an ongoing title in 1951.
