The serialized stories harken back to an age when Dickens and Arthur Conen Doyle were first published in magazines.
They didn't stray into pure Universal Monster type stories much, but they did skirt the edges and use cartoon classic monsters to decorate their covers - and had a little fun with them. (I like the Whistler's Mummy cover.)
Cool! Those would be fun to collect. I only have one issue. (Guess which one?)
I dig 'em. Reminds me of Dynamite magazine. Wolfman looks rad on guitar. The Cheerleader jumping looks similar to the film poster of Cheerleader Camp(1988)
