Automatically :)

Just read the wiki and thought they went ages ago :)

I already had them on my master list lol
I trade as Dead Universe Comics in the UK, which is no surprise to those who know of my legendary Dead Universe habit.

Harris published the Warren Comics Vampirella, Creepy and Eerie before it was sold to Dynamite! like 10 years ago. So I'd say it's been at least semi-dead for a while since DF has published the characters since then.

I have a bunch of their old stuff from the late 90s/early 200s when they tried to expand beyond Vampirella (which had gained new popularity in the Brutes and Babes era): Vampi, The Rook (an old Eerie character), Q-Unit...

Q-Unit only printed one issue but I remember having some very cool sci-if concepts.

Did they also do CyberFrog?

Yep Cyberfrog (1996)—Ethan Van Sciver character acquired from Hall of Heroes#0-7
Never heard of Q-unit, but i loved all of the Vengeance of Vampirella.

After writing that I went back and looked up Q-Unit...I kinda forgot how Liefeldian it was. I remember a human scientist from the Manhattan Project who winds up (in a never revealed way) a powerful legend in a vast alien empire. He's conscripted along with a group of other alien fugitives and baddies as a kind of intergalactic suicide squad for the evil religious galactic empire against their synthoid/robot opposition. Big breasted women + Marvel/DC knockoffs + jumbled plot and dialogue kinda ruins the overall concept in a one-issue blip on the 90s bubble.

It did, however, come with a Wizard cross promotional layered trading card. One card in Wizard, one with each issue (which only wound up being one). Individually they didn't look like anything, but when laid in top of each other it formed an image of the big bad of the "series".

If that is true then are Dark Horse publishing both new Creepy and Eerie series and reprinting the Warren material?

They did print Creepy and Eerie briefly (as is usually the case at Dynamite!) as part of a horror line. Not sure if they still are or if they're doing reprints.
