Post an Image of a Favourite Monster or Sci-Fi Collectible!

I think it is.  The only cover I could find for Monsterbus vol 1 was the Tales to Astonish Groot cover.  Normally they do offer variant covers with more contemporary artists providing an original image, but I couldn't find an example for either volume in this case.



The amazon entry for the Marvel Monsters HC:https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Monsters-Peter-David/dp/0785121412

Marvel's monsters unleashed in four timeless tales by today's hottest creators! In Monsters on the Prowl, it's the Hulk, the Thing, Giant-Man and the Beast vs. a tidal wave of classic creatures when the Collector inadvertently lets loose Droom, Grogg, Goom, Rombuu, Grattu and more on New York City!

But when the ferocity of Devil Dinosaur proves no match for the opposition, a savage from the future is brought back for a battle you thought you'd never see: Hulk vs. Devil Dino! In Fin Fang Four, four giant monsters - incarcerated for years for their crimes against humanity - now find themselves shrunk to human size and working at the home of the very people who captured them: the Fantastic Four! Meet Googam, Son of Goom; Elektro; Gorgilla; and Fin Fang Foom! But when Goom's mad plan to rescue his father goes awry, the quartet must put aside their differences and become - the Fin Fang Four! And in Where Monsters Dwell, witness the terror of Monstrollo, the horror of Manoo and the fright of Bombu! Collects Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur, Fin Fang Four, Monsters on the Prowl, Where Monsters Dwell & Marvel Monster Handbook.

So I just checked my copy of this book:



It contains six new stories and five reprints from 1959-61. Jack Kirby was the artist on four of the reprints and Don Heck on the other one.

Still good stuff then.  I like all those 00's one shots.

Speaking of books, does anyone have any of these?

[Mord]

 No, but I really wish I did (especially the bottom one).

Same here!

Speaking of Xmas themed books, here's another monsterrific one written by Dr. Seuss and released by Random House in 1957:



The book was turned into an animated movie for TV in 1966:



Here's the trailer:

Here's an actual  Munsters lunchbox from the 1960's, and the more recent collectable Tote. This is part of a collection of Lunchboxes I have, including a vintage Casper Lunchbox, whuch was the style used by girls. This Lunchbox was the exact one used by my late sister, when she went to school.

You mean your sister kept the lunch box she'd used as a young girl and you now keep it with the other lunch boxes in your collection?

And what's the lunch box on the shelf above the Casper lunch box and the one on the bottom shelf?

Yes. My sister loved Casper, and she always kept it. I keep it as a way to remember her.  It even has the thermos. The one on the bottom shelf is a Scooby Do lunchbox. I have it so the side with Shaggy and Scooby being afraid of the Headless Horseman, shows.

[Hepcat]

No, but I really wish I did (especially the bottom one).

How about these three then?







Note that four of the six are authored by Marcus Hearn.

Norm Saunders also did the artwork for the fabulous Topps Frankenstein Stickers set from 1966. Here are two of the sticker cards from Monolith's collection:





Here are a few more:











They're very hard to find these days because they were stickers and kids used them as such.

The display box was also out-of-sight fabulous and looks as if the box art was done by Norm:



Sadly I have nothing but the wrapper myself:

Those are fabulous! And some are so rarely pictured that I've never even seen scans previously!



I take it that they're not your own though.

That's why I did the album. 

I take it that they're not your own though.

I don't even have the 3 Creature ones.
