I've often wondered whatever happened to the paste ups for the early monster magazines. I've never really come across any mention of original pages that were sent to the printer ever surviving over the years. Other than original pages of comic art that surface from time to time, a camera-ready page, complete with screen art and pasted up text seems to be a rarity.
Once in a while, we see the odd or end of a scrap of original art that was used on a page. Case in point, this example offered up for auction. It is a piece by John Severin that was used as the title for CRACKED magazine's Horror House line of monster merchandise.
