American Update: Virtually complete Monsters Of The Movies
*Vintage Magazine-Sized Comics: This week’s magazine update features something a bit more fringey from Marvel’s 1970’s magazine line: Monsters of the Movies was the House of Idea’s shameless attempt to cash in on Famous Monsters of Filmland, and as such the comics content is minimal – one strip each in the first two issues. The main features are on contemporary and historical horror and science-fiction movies, with loads of stills. It’s a must-have for all Marvel Mag completists, and less often seen than its contemporaries. We have almost all of the eight-issue run (lacking only #5), in addition to the one-off Annual, all in mid-high grades, though all except the Annual bear either price stickers or some residue from label removal.
