Cultural Legacy
Uncle Creepy is mentioned in an early scene in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
The back cover of Roger Meddows-Taylor's (drummer of rock band Queen) solo project album Fun in Space shows him reading Creepy.
In 2010, New Comic Company, LLC signed a deal with mask company Trick or Treat Studios to release the first officially licensed Uncle Creepy mask in almost 20 years. The mask was sculpted by Trick or Treat Studios Art Director Justin Mabry and will be available in Halloween and costumes stores across the world for the 2011 Halloween season.
On Halloween 2011, the apparel company Stussy launched a successful co-branded line of T-shirts and hats titled Stussy x Creepy featuring Uncle Creepy, the Creepy logo and classic graphics from the magazines. The program was a sell-out success. Creepy editor/writer and chief creative Dan Braun was interviewed on stussy.com giving a short history of the magazine.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or legacy:
“All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
