For Monsters Only #1 - John Severin Showcase











MONSTER S-I-Z-E version of this well-known ad...


N-O-T the most amazing comp ever but it has a few interesting things on it and also has a monster on the cover playing "rock 'n roll"...

  1. Prof: Great Severin, and the scary part is, he captures the fading, slightly bloated Lugosi perfectly. "Everywhere I go, I seem to run into that mutt!" he says, fleeing a poster of a take off on Frankenstein. Take that, Karloff!

    Prof. - I hate self promotion, but knowing your taste - please check out: http://www.goldkeystories.com/ It's my new one about Gold Key Comics. -- Thanks. -- Mykal
