This is the first image I thought of. To bad it's a splash page and NOT A COVER. Great Kirby-Stone piece.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
That Eerie magazine came out in 1972, long before Robert Kirkman came out with the Walking Dead comic book series.
I know the post cover came out well before The Walking Dead comic by Kirman. That is not what I meant.
I meant the comics code authority rules that stated a comic cant use the word terror or use things like The Walking Dead. Did they get around that rule by classifying it as a magazine and not a comic? Were the rules different for magazines? The Comics Code was in effect in 72 so I was just wondering how Eerie got around it.

Trivia - the CCA rules changed in 1971, a year before that Eerie issue, to allow vampires, ghouls and werewolves. Oddly, zombies were still taboo under that new rule unless they were the traditional voodoo zombies. So Marvel comics at the time referred to them a zuvembies instead. Really, there are comics with that term in them. At the time both DC and Marvel were finding all kinds of ways to workaround the rules of the CCA, and still retain the stamp of the CCA, it became a kind of joke.

And "Zuvembie" was a name coined by Robert E. Howard.
In the story, a woman can become a zuvembie by drinking the Black Brew. The resulting creature is no longer human, knowing no friend or relative. It cannot talk, or think like a human. It doesn't need to eat and will live forever, staying in a cave or an old house. It has certain powers—it can command owls, bats, snakes, pigeons and werewolves. It can hypnotise the living with its voice, and command the body of someone it has killed until the body is cold. It can only be killed by lead or iron.[1]
