Monday Monster Madness MONSTERS UNLIMITED "Best of #4"

As of #4, Monsters to Laugh With  changed it's title...
...to Monsters Unlimited!
But the Stan Lee-scripted word balloons on old (even in 1965) movie and TV horror/sci-fi pix remained as corny as ever!


Remember the caption-writing contest Stan ran last issue?
Well, here's the (as Stan put it) WEINER...
You'll Have to Wait Until Next Halloween Season To See That Pic!

Next Monday...

Shogun Warriors are Back as Monday Mecha Madness Returns!

Halloween Reading Room SUPERSNIPE ""Halloween" Part 1"

You'd think a story about Halloween would begin a bit differently...
...but remember, this is a story about the Boy with the Most Comic Books in America, so it'll all tie together shortly...
This tale of terror and trick-or-treat continues Tuesday...
Story and art for this tale from S&S's SuperSnipe Comics V2N12 (1945) by George Marcoux, who did all the "SuperSnipe Universe" strips himself!

Spooky Space Force Saturdays JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "Planet of Terror!"

 Our Final Halloween-Horror Themed Tale is Illustrated by Basil Wolverton...

...but likely not scripted by him!




Even the Grand Comics Database, which normally attributes scripting of Basil's tales to him is uncertain what to make of this somewhat disorienting ending! of this sinister story from Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #7 (1951)!
You'll note the inset art for the story on the cover, by an unknown artist, has none of the elements of the tale itself!
What's the truth?
We'll likely never know...

Frightful Friday Fun DRACULA Dracula One-Page Tales #4

The English-language version of the 1970s Spanish Dracula magazine didn't have any Dracula...
...because they left out these kool, wordless, one-page features from the back cover of the original Spanish editions!
Note these the first one also features Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy!
And the second one introduces aliens into the mix!
Both England's New English Library and America's Warren Magazines (who licensed the NEL translated version) left out these entertaining pieces...despite the fact no translation was needed!
Written and illustrated by Alfonso Figueras, these one-pagers now make their American debut!
Be here every Friday in October for more kool vampire humor!

Halloween Reading Room JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Shadow from the Steeple!"

...in this case, the splash page narration covers the matter pretty succinctly!

Writer (and noted pulp/comics historian) Ron Goulart adapted all three tales in this Cthuthu Mythos trilogy!
(The earlier two appeared HERE and HERE)!
Penciler Rich Buckler and inker Frank Giacoia handled the artwork in this tale from Marvel's Journey into Mystery V2N5 (1973) which orgiinally appeared in prose form in Weird Tales V42N6 (1950), fifteen years after the previous two parts of the trilogy.
Interestingly, Marvel's never-reprinted these three stories as part of an anthology of adaptations of famous fantasy/sci-fi authors' works!
