Junji Ito is someone who legit deserves to be on this list. His comics are very unnerving.

This really undersells just how gorgeous, grotesque and emotionally resonant Alan Moore'a swamp thing run is

To be clear, Nick's list - as always - is completely objective and 100% correct. So no arguments in the comments please. *WATCH NEXT*: _The Top 5 Manga Comics_ - bit.ly/2eMHfN6

At least he got rid of the mustache

These are great!

Bill Sienkiewicz's "Stray Toasters" fucked my shit up when I read it in my teens.

I love EC comic's! Especially their sci-fi stuff like WEIRD FANTASY & WEIRD SCIENCE. Those original 1st print's from the 1950's sell for hundreds of dollars, even in horrible condition (Reprints are about a $1 on eBay). One of my favorites is SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES #12, which is about heroin addiction, the cover is hilarious!

I’m new to Junji Ito’s work, but I was so happy he made the list. Truly brilliant art that creeps out in its own right without the context

Roses are red my names not Dave, this doesn't make any sense, microwave

do you know where can i read some of this books online?

plants and bugs!! holy shit!!! I loved that swamp thing cartoon theme when I was a kid. this is the first time I've ever heard someone reference it, ever lol.

Yes! Need more of these

Where can I get that the carnivorous plant patterned shirt?

I’m SO happy you put Uzumaki on this list! You have good taste my man!

Swamp thing is not a guy who turns into a swamp. It's a swamp that thinks it's a guy.

more videos like this pleeasee

I need that shirt! Where can I get one?!

Black Hole and Uzumaki...game over. Well done.

There should be more Vice videos about comics, invest in that Vice.

Make more comics/art videos with this guy please

5:20 which comic # is this ? rat with attached faces ?

Gyo and Crossed are pretty great too!

Nice list, but there is also a horror comic missing that is not included or even mentioned here and I consider it a very serious shortcoming for true horror fans. That said, the comic in question has been on Italian newsstands for 37 years ( second in sales behind Tex Willer's iconic 1948 western comic) and is called Dylan Dog. Published starting from 1986, his adventures have in fact alternated traditional horror with numerous "homages" to the classic monsters of the genre, to the modern splatter of the films of Dario Argento and George Romero, but also to yellow, surreal and fantastic in general, always with great irony. Former Scotland Yard agent, detoxified alcoholic, vegetarian and convinced animal rights activist, Dylan Dog has a mysterious past wrapped in a dreamlike and surreal dimension. Not surprisingly, the dream (or rather: the nightmare) and everything that seems to be beyond reality are his personal and professional interests. As a private detective he deals exclusively with unusual cases, in all shades of the term: he is addressed to those who have been affected, or even just touched, by the black wing of the supernatural. People the police don't believe and who would often risk slipping into madness if they didn't find someone willing to listen to them and help them. Fear fascinates him, the irrational and inexplicable fear of the unknown. And he himself is afraid: he is certainly not an invincible hero, and indeed sometimes he just can't solve the case, kill the monster, drive away the nightmare. Or more often it only partially succeeds, and when it all seems over, the horror reappears... Dylan Dog is an anti-hero, then? Not even: he's just a man. A man who, unlike many, does not reject the unknown but instead tries to penetrate and understand it, especially when the mystery and horror lurk in the depths of the unconscious. Ironic, impulsive, problematic, full of doubts about himself and the world, strong and tender at the same time, Dylan Dog hates violence, loves women, enjoys playing the clarinet and building a model of a galleon that may never end . He is an avid cinephile, reads a lot of everything, loves pizza and always dresses in the same way: black jacket, red shirt and blue jeans. And despite all the horrors and hallucinating absurdities he has witnessed, it cannot be said that he still believes completely, blindly, in the supernatural: "I don't believe it, but I hope so".

I want all these now :)

How can you do a video about horror comics and not mention Bernie Wrightson?

Does the comic "Crossed" count for horror though? It might be too vulgar or even just plain disgusting. But was just wondering if those terms have it's place in horror genre

God dammit, I love Nick Gazin.

Yes! I love Swamp Thing. One of my favs

Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein character did not start out as a nice funny guy. He began in Prize Comics issue #7 (Dec. 1940) . He wanted revenge on the doctor who created him. The monster had a very disheveled look at the start, then changed a bit in issue # 11. It was not until a few years later that he received treatments to turn him totally nice. Frankenstein even worked for the nazis in Prize Comics issues 39-40, when hypnotized by them. After that he helped the people when he could. Towards the end of the Prize run and into the first 17 issues of the Frankenstein Comics title, he was still good. He turned back to the original villain starting with issue 18 until he end (issue 33). I am collecting the entire series and have the rare starting key in my collection.

You really have to try Dylan Dog.

love the series

Has this dude his own channel?

It's not exactly horror but I really liked Batman Year 100. That would make such a good movie with an old ass batman beatin the shit out of motherfuckers

yes uzumaki is such a good horror comic 💜

YOu know what? I was going to post "What about Uzumaki?!?!" BEfore actually watching the video. But i scrolled the video up and it's all good. Love junji ito!!

Sandman should get a honourable mention

I'm going to take advice on comics from someone who wasn't even a thought when I started reading them: No I think not.

So that's why Uzumaki wasn't on the Top 5 anime list.

No mention of Hellblazer.....

i fuckin' loved the Swamp Thing tv show as a little kid.

I was going to have a fit if Junji Ito wasn't on this list somewhere.

They put up the wrong Allen Moore... From Hell, was one of the craziest, and weirdest things I've ever read..

lol all the people taking this seriously

Finally Charles Burns!

Vice should send Nick Gazin to North Korea.

junji Ito, all you need is just junji ito.

LOVED Black Hole.

This guy knows his shit. I'll give him that.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Invader Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez fucked me up fam

I clicked knowing Junji Ito absolutely had to be on this list!

I was expecting GeGeGe no Kitaro to be on this list, just so I could complain "GEGEGE NO KITARO ISN'T FUCKING SCARY", lol

There's literally nothing wrong with this list. It's well put together. But again, people got bent over on learning that opinions other than their own exist.

what about "Wetworks"/Image... HUH?!?! hipster boi???

At least he got junji ito's Uzumaki babyyyy

I was ready to dismiss this list because of the top comics one he did, but this one is actually pretty good, if not a bit predictable. I mean, whose not going to put EC horror at the top of the list? They quite literally impacted the comics industry more than any other publisher because of the moral outrage leading to the CCA being formed.

I love this guy! Best troll EVER!

Swamp Thing is great, but Alan Moore's run isn't very scary at all. I would shrink from putting it into a horror genre even. It's more of a new agey spiritual journey, an outworking of his own spiritual beliefs rather than anything "horror."

Where's Crossed?

EC Comics and TTTTT are the BEST horror comics

A good horror manga is Kurosagi, check it out!

Charles Montgomery Burns?

You don’t get enough videos

Come on man, no Thomas Ott stuff? You're missing out on some great and really creepy stuff.

no hell boy?

i fucking love him

Is it just me or does the guy presenting this video look like monster as depicted in the comic Frankenstein?? What I mean is I would not be surprised to his nose placed above his eye's!!

Yeah, Uzumaki!

Everyone gets one right.

Black Hole is Amazing!

yeah this video could have been way better, take it down and do it again

wash your face with neutrogena soap, you've got quite the oil collection

I wish Nick Gazin was still making content for Vice :(

Thanks for getting rid of the mustache.

He reminds me of Tyler1

Swamp Thing is in the top 5 SCARIEST comic of all time? REALLY?! It's well written but it's not scary. And if you think it is then you haven't read a lot of horror comics

"And, as always, his list is completely objective, so no arguments in the comment section please." I love this low key trolling hidden in the description. Keep anally annihilating people VICE.

5:41 Thats Scorsese script writing level, priceless.

uzumaki is fucking great

OMG BLACK HOLE IS CREEPY AS FUCK.

Doesn't see junji ito *Mad weebs enters the chat*

misleading title - objective list or not. he went from saying scariest to most important, which mean different things

Spawn?

MORE

wtf??? why is frankenstein there? the title says scariest comic of all time frankenstein is nowhere near scary

for me Dylan Dog all this what he choose is for kids

#4 looks wired

*manga n comics

Uzumaki is the shit!

Praise

Yeah that Frankenstein comic will scare the shit out you huh? NO! Of course it won't. Cmon Vice, how about you just scrap this video and try again? You make a video called the SCARIEST Horror comics and then have the guy in the video give us a list of horror comics he thinks are "important" So which is it??

Love love love love Uzumaki

too busy ensuring the list is hipster friendly to actually choose comics that are dark or truly eerie - not campy, cutesy, hipster horeseshit? yup.

I have to disagree with your comment regarding E.C. stories Not making a lot ofsense.. they contained the finest plots as well as artwork.. of their day.... to make such a statement makes no sense... unless your videos are just trying to be troll videos... You can say a lot of E.C. copiers' stories did Not make a lot of sense... stiff from Ajax Farrell... Avon.. Trojan... Harvey...St John...Fawcett... Charlton..Atlas ...Fox..Ziff-Davis...Fiction House...and some others had stories that did not make a lot of sense... But it is wrong of you to say that about E.C. comics.. although the show Tales From the Crypt.. did more harm to their reputation than good... that shpw was a farce... and CAMPY... like the Batman and Robin of of the 1960's tv.. show.. funny to watch.. but NOTHING.... like the real comic......

best shit ever

The EC comics are better.

shit, Jack Osbourne really fell off, uh?

hahahahaha

I don't know what it is about comics as a medium but compared to books and movies they don't really do that good a job of being scary, the only horror comic which made me feel unsettled is the collection "The Furry Trap" by Josh Simmons which is filled with upsetting stories

Jesus.. Is this top 5 list for 9 year old's?
