Friday Fun MONSTER TIMES "It Crawled From Out of the Woodwork!"

Our final entry into the "roach comic" category is a fumetti...

...a comic strip told with photos (enhanced by artwork) from the tabloid-format sci-fi/horror newspaper The Monster Times #3 (1973)!
It's larger than our normal formatting because the typeset lettering would be unreadable in our normal presentation size!
Creative credits for the strip are unknown, but we can tell you the creators/art directors of Monster Times; Larry Brill and Les Waldstein; also performed the same tasks for Al Goldstein's notorious X-rated tabloid SCREW! which featured a number of comics artists including Wally Wood, Drew Friedman, and Tony Millionare!

Monday Madness LIANA

Here's a tale of future love published exactly 50 years ago...
...Nestled none too securely in the grim world of the future, Liana longs for the miracle that will end the pain of her lonely existence!
But, miracles can have dangerous side-effects, as Liana will soon find out!
This tale originally appeared in The Monster Times #14 (July 31, 1972), written and illustrated by Bruce Jones, who went on to write and illustrate (but rarely both at the same time) for DC and Marvel.
BTW, if you wonder why the caption in the first panel is so hard to read, it's because this was published as two pages in a tabloid 11 1/2"x 16 1/2" format (like 1970s Marvel and DC "Treasury" editions), so I repeated the text below the first page!
Happy Valentine's Day!
