LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS NO. 3

The tagline on this comic magazine "WARNING - - - NOT TO BE PURCHASED BY THOSE EASILY FRIGHTENED) is much less restrictive-sounding than the "Adults Only" ribbon on the cover of last week's post of MONSTER MAG. This issue contains the comic strip adaptation of Ray Harryhausen's THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD with art by--I believe--Kevin O'Neil. The fold-out poster is a nice photo of The Cyclops.

LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS NO. 2

LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS

Vol. 1 No. 2

1975 (no month)

Publisher: Legendary Publishing

Editor: Gent Shaw

Cover: Kevin O'Neil

Pages: 16

Cover price: 25p (about 25 cents)

This is the second of the LEGEND HORROR CLASSIC series of 16-page "poster magazines" that were popular in the UK for awhile in the 1970s. This issue the Frankenstein monster is covered. The comic strip drawn by Kevin O'Neil adapts the Universal 1931 version. Oddly, though, O'Neil draws Dr. Frankenstein to look more like Peter Cushing. The foldout poster is of David "Darth Vader" Prowse from Hammer's 1974s FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL. Sub-standard artwork mars this otherwise nifty effort by Mr. Shaw.
