A special Creature issue this time around with an article on his life on times written as an autobiography! Joe Kubert is interviewed about his work on Tarzan for DC Comics, the series of atomic monsters, Corman's Poe films and Jeff Jones' comic story continues, and there's a feature on Humphrey Bogart's only horror movie, THE RETURN OF DR. X.
Joe Brancatelli assumes the managing editorship and bumps Joe Kane down to copy editor. Brancatelli is well-known in the comic book business for his column in the Warren Magazines and for his own, newsprint publication, INSIDE COMICS. Special note should be made of this issue's poster (shown above) by Tim Johnson, a 17 year-old monster lover and comic collector. Nice work!
