Eerie #132

Eerie #132, published in June 1982, arrived during the final years of the Warren Publishing era. By this stage in the magazine's long-running history, the publication was shifting away from its original format of pioneering horror anthologies to reflect the changing aesthetic trends of the early 1980s. This issue represents a period of transition for the publisher, as they contended with the broader economic struggles that ultimately led to the company's dissolution shortly thereafter.

The cover art for this issue was produced by Sanjulian, a Spanish illustrator who became a mainstay of the Warren stable. Known for his evocative, painterly approach to gothic and fantastic subjects, Sanjulian was instrumental in defining the visual identity of Eerie alongside other masters like Frank Frazetta. His work in this era aimed to maintain the title's reputation for high-quality, atmospheric covers, serving as a signature element that attracted readers to the newsstands despite the growing competition from other horror comics and magazines.
