Tales of Voodoo – Eerie Publications’ Dark Dive into the Supernatural

Tales of Voodoo was a magazine-sized black-and-white horror comic published by Eerie Publications from 1968 to 1974. Designed to compete with the success of Warren’s horror magazines, Tales of Voodoo featured supernatural tales centered around the mysteries of voodoo, dark magic, and the occult. The magazine ran for 36 issues, plus a special annual, each numbered with volume and issue numbers rather than consecutive numbering, making it a unique part of the 1970s horror comic scene.

The stories in Tales of Voodoo were a mix of ritualistic horror, spooky voodoo curses, and paranormal occurrences, with gritty black-and-white illustrations that emphasized the dark and eerie atmosphere. The series often explored themes like revenge through dark rituals, supernatural entities, and the dangerous consequences of dabbling with forbidden forces. While it was one of several horror magazines from Eerie Publications, Tales of Voodoo stood out with its focus on voodoo and the mysterious worlds of witchcraft and dark rituals.

For fans of vintage horror magazines, Tales of Voodoo remains a classic part of the 1970s horror anthology landscape, offering thrilling supernatural stories and a glimpse into the occult horror craze of the time. A must-have for collectors of black-and-white horror mags and fans of creepy, ritualistic storytelling.
