MONSTERS UNLIMITED NO. 5 (PART 1)


After a few issues of MONSTERS TO LAUGH WITH, Marvel kept the heads rolling with it under a new title, MONSTERS UNLIMITED. Noting changed but the title and Stan Lee uses the same style of jokes, often using people, products and other contemporary references for his punch lines. A quaint and nostalgic look at yesteryear if you are so inclined.

MOUNTAIN OF FEAR!


I prefer to characterized this book-length story from HAUNTED (Charlton, February 1975) inspired by rather than adapted from H.P. Lovecraft's novella, "At the Mountains of Madness". But no matter, it's still a ripping tale of cosmic horror written and drawn by the late, great Tom Sutton. Sutton likely pitched this story to editor George Wildman and illustrated it in his usual, distinct style, of which I am a huge fan. The man had a monster talent.
