Found this image of some old 1964 Dell Universal Monsters comics.



Extremely cool. Why is the Wolfman invisible?

Good question. If I had to guess I'd say it's symbolic of the fear that he has spread. Here's a couple of panels from it.

DCs answer to Tomb of Dracula?

Yeah sort of. I really like the I Vampire series from DC. They re-launched the title as part of the new 52 line a few years ago, but it is since canceled. I collected it, but it was nowhere as good as original. The vampire character Andrew Bennett appeared in some of the Justice League Dark issues too.

I have the Frankenstein and Creature Dell comics. I bought them a few years ago off evilBay in around FN for $10 each, give or take a $1. I've only ever seen them offered singly so I suspect a person would have to be very lucky to find all of them for sale in a group.

I never knew about the other titles. I never saw these when I was a kid or I would have been all over them. I bought every monster or dinosaur comic I could get my hands on.
ALWAYS MONSTERING...

Great collection creaturefan95! I'm huge fan of WWT. I especially like the Creature Commando issues.

Some issues I have of DC's GHOSTS title:





































DARK SHADOWS:

David Collins: "Dead people dont just get up and walk around.."

Sarah Collins: "Sometimes they do."

So about a week ago I went to comic book yard sale. Everything had to go, so $1 a book. The guy knew he had some valuable stuff, but just wanted to unload everything. I found some good Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange and Darkhorse Godzilla stuff.

But here are the real scores:

Can you freakin' believe it? I've been trying to hunt down this set for years. This is very difficult to find, unless you want to pay $170 on ebay. I snagged it for $3.

Here are the other big scores:

The Godzilla vs Barkley is like $20-30 book.

And the biggest score of all:

Both for $1 each!

The very first letter column that DC published was back in 1946 in Real Fact Comics 3:



The third letter printed was by a fellow whose name would in due course become associated with monsterdom and all those things we UMAers hold dear to our hearts.

I have quite a few issues totally drenched in nostalgia. Both original and private comic.

Godzilla versus King Kong, yes, Godzilla versus Rodan, yes, Godzilla versus Mothra, yes, but this matchup? I dunno....
