Cracked Magazine Monster Specials

[1975]

I don't know about you lot but these were some of my favourite monster items as a child. If I found one of these at the magazine shop or at a used book seller I would grab it with both hands.

I am not sure when Cracked stopped selling these but I seem to recall buying them when I was way too old to be doing so. The "Lenses" part always made me wonder what movie the picture was from....

Thanks for posting those sir, they bring back wonderful memories. This is a part of my childhood I must reclaim.

Oh Boy! Monster Mags!

I had to dig these out of the vault. I have a bunch more of the "Those Cracked Monsters" and the 60's "Cracked For Monsters Only"
but for the life of me I have no idea where they are.

Does anyone have a somewhat higher-resolution scan of the first cover in this thread?  I would like to see the detail on that one.  It's really something.
