Archives and The Relaunch
In February 2007, New Comic Company, LLC completed a total rights acquisition from Warren and his entity for all rights to Creepy and Eerie, after seven years of effort. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. All copyright renewals and trademarks have been re-established in the name of New Comic Company LLC.
Shortly after that rights acquisition deal, in June 2007, New Comic Company LLC principals Dan Braun, Craig Haffner, Josh Braun and Rick Brookwell completed a partnership agreement with Dark Horse Comics and its CEO Mike Richardson to republish in archival hardcover form all 285 total issues of the original Creepy and Eerie. The first Creepy archival volume was published in August 2008, with additional releases available every four months. The first Eerie archival volume was released in March 2009, with subsequent archives available every four months.
In July 2009, Dark Horse Comics and New Comic Company LLC released the new Creepy magazine. Edited by Shawna Gore and Dan Braun with Craig Haffner, it displayed the work of artists Bernie Wrightson, Angelo Torres, Saskia Gutekunst and Jason Shawn Alexander illustrating scripts by Michael Woods, Dan Braun, Joe Harris and Bill Dubay.
Creepy is currently up to issue #7 which includes the work of Keith and Joe Lansdale, Bill Morrison, Dan Braun, Guus Floor, Patric Reynolds and Wilfredo Torres. Creepy #8 was released April 5, 2012. The Creepy Archives are currently up to #12, collecting Creepy issues #55-59. The Eerie Archives are currently up to #10, collecting Eerie #47-51. The new Eerie comic book is relaunched July 2012, featuring creators David Lapham and Christopher Taylor with editors Sierra Hahn, Brendan Wright and Dan Braun.
