Monster Kids down under had their fair share of monster 'zines to read. Most of these were reprints from U.S. mags such as those from Warren. This cover gallery shows that Aussie artists could do as well as anybody else, including the obvious steals from horror film stills and even outright swipes from their stateside counterparts!
"Lurid" is not enough to describe these covers. "Unsettling" and "disturbing" leap to mind.
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of some of Skywald's covers, I'd have to agree with you. I don't think they were inhibited by some of same down-turned noses as there were in the States.
