During the mid 1970's, Marvel was riding high with their success of numerous monster series, including a monster movie magazine. Bring their headliners into a full-size magazine created for some outstanding issues. But, for some reason, none of them enjoyed the longevity of their comic book counterparts.

This particular magazine was cobbled together with mostly reprints from the comics and the collection stands out. Included are adaptations of Theodore Sturgeon, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch and H.P. Lovecraft.
