"Astounding! Strange! Weird!" So says the title on the cover of this Dell Comics adaptation of the AIP film, DIE, MONSTER, DIE!, starring Boris Karloff and Nick Adams. The script is based on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour of Space", and any similarities are in outer space.

Nevertheless, it's a chance to see the great Karloff in action one more time (listed as MONSTER OF TERROR at IMDB). He still had some left in the tank, and he would be seen in a few more films and TV shows, including his much-publicized role as the cross-dressing Mother Muffin in an episode of THE GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E.

Scripted by the prolific Joe Gill, this Dell Movie Classic was penciled by John Tartaglioni, inked by Vince Colletta, and lettered by Ben Oda. Oda, who worked for Warren, lettered the cover, as well.

This post officially ends "H.P. Lovecraft Week" here at MMW. Hope you enjoyed it.
