Cover Artwork: Frank Frazetta's cover for Creepy #83 features a group of ape-like, muscular creatures wielding primitive weapons, marching through a harsh, barren landscape. The artwork exudes raw power and intensity, hallmarks of Frazetta’s distinctive style, blending fantasy, horror, and primal themes. This piece was originally created in 1966, a testament to how timeless Frazetta's works are, often being reused in later publications due to their immense popularity.

Issue Highlights: Creepy #83 is labeled a "Super Summer Special" and boasts seven stories in full color, which was an attractive feature for fans since earlier issues were primarily black and white. The stories in this issue are varied, fitting with Creepy’s usual mix of supernatural, horror, and gothic themes.

Notable Contributors:

• Writers: Likely included regular contributors such as Archie Goodwin or Bruce Jones, both of whom were prolific writers for Creepy.
• Artists: While Frazetta did the cover, other interior artists during this time would likely include popular Warren Publishing contributors such as Richard Corben, Alex Toth, Tom Sutton, and Rafael Auraleón.

Story Themes: The stories would follow the typical anthology format, with tales ranging from supernatural horror to eerie revenge and the macabre. Each story often ended with a twist, staying true to the Creepy formula.
