Description

I have found the earliest appearance of this Cousin Eerie head (although flipped sideways) in the readers' mail page of EERIE #70 (November 1975).

It was used again later among Berni Wrightson's ten Cousin Eerie heads in EERIE #125 (October 1981), an all-Neal Adams issue.

Brilliant! Just brilliant!

Actually, Berni Wrightson drew this in 1975, and it appeared in the "Dear Cousin Eerie..." letters column in Eerie #72, cover dated February, 1976. He did a lot of Creepy and Eerie portrait heads in 1974 and 1975 which were often in the opening of other artists' stories for the Warren magazines.

Best regards,

Alec

Thanks for the input, Alec. After double-checking the mid-1970s Eerie issues, it turns out that this head first appeared flipped sideways in the readers' mail page of Eerie #70 (Nov. 1975). In the following issues, the cravat was deleted and the head appeared only from the chin up.
