The Zombie mask was created by Verne in 1972, about 4 years after he left Don Post studios. The mask first appeared on the cover of the Creepy 1972 Annual. After Warren Publishing received a number of inquires about the mask Verne decided to produce a limited number of these in his spare time along with the help of Terry Smith. Verne has stated that he remembers making around a dozen and Terry completing about twice that before the advertisement was retired.
At some point in a future post we'll take a look at the reissue and recasts of this legendary monster mask!
