Monsterkid Records

You're welcome, geezer. Neal Adams is one of the best, especially for the work he did in the late '60s to mid '70s. I focus on monster comics nowadays but I held onto my original copy of Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali for the beautiful Adams art throughout. (pic is not my copy, just grabbed off the 'net)

Still have mine as well.  My mother nabbed it for me when I was quite ill as kid.  As well as some Star Trek reprints In large format.  One of those items I would never part with.  Partly for the art and part for the memories.   I still get it out to search the crowd on the cover.

I still rank him as THE best comic artist, just edging out Jack Davis. The list of those nipping at their heels is very long though and includes these fellows in alphabetical order:

Murphy Anderson (his inks made the pencils of everybody from Mike Sekowsky to Carmine Infantino to Gil Kane look really good)
Jim Aparo
John Byrne
Dick Dillin
Lee Elias
Dick Giordano
Russ Heath
Jack Kirby/Joe Simon team.
Joe Kubert
Joe Maneely
Howie Post
John Romita Sr.
John Severin
Steve Steranko
Curt Swan

[Monsters For Sale]

American Telecard produced these Buzza-Cardoza of Anaheim, CA monster greeting cards that contained cardboard-backed plastic records - like the ones that were sometimes bound into magazines like MAD.  They were even voiced by no less than Mel Blanc and Lennie Weinrib!  Columbia Records pressed the little discs.

Don't have a year on these.  And the backs of 2 of the tear-out records (with storyline synopses) are missing.

They should have made Get Well cards, too.  It would have cheered up any sick monsterkid to get a greeting/song from his favorite monster.

(Original) version of the classic....

After more than fifty years still probably the definitive monster kid record!

Thanx for sharing! Never saw this "Old Sea Hag" record in all my days of collecting!!! on Liberty Record- Same label as Alvin and The Chipmunks 1st LPs. It sounds VERY reminiscent of the Disney Haunted House record. I wonder which one came first???

That Old Sea Hag record is really hard to find. I've been looking for an affordable copy for years.

Monsters For Sale-- I have those four Buzza-Cardoza card/records you posted plus a fifth one. On this one Mel Blanc's Wolfman voice sounds similar to his Tazmanian Devil voice. I love the illustrations on these cards.

Sweet!  Good looking graphics on that one.

I wonder if anyone has ever played these for YouTube?

I like monster records. Here are some of mine...

And here's some more. This is just what was in the first box I could get to. I have more packed away...

I believe you have the best collection of monster-themed records on this forum. I know you have Dracula's Greatest Hits, Zacherle's Monster Mash Party and Music for Monsters all of which feature Jack Davis sleeve art because you posted about them in different threads. Could you repost them all together in this thread?

Awesome collection, Hep.

[Mike Scott]

I would love to have a set of those Wally Wood covers for the Verne and Wells stories! 

[Hepcat]

Awesome collection, Hep.

Oh, I agree! But those are Monolith's records.
