*Humour Comics: Launched in 1975, Monster Fun attempted to mine the ‘spooky humour’ vein established by IPC/Fleetway’s earlier Shiver & Shake, with most of the strips being humorous twists on popular horror tropes – King Kong, Frankenstein, Dracula, Jaws and so on. With Wham! and Shiver & Shake alumnus Frankie Stein being drafted as figurehead editor, the series starred ‘Draculass’, ‘Kid Kong’, ‘Martha’s Monster Make-Up’, ‘Teddy Scare’, ‘X-Ray Specs’ and the original Pathetic Shark, ‘Gums’, who would be a man-eating terror of the ocean – if only he could find his false teeth! Although Monster Fun faltered after 73 issues, a little over a year after launching, it had enough strong features that fully half its line-up moved into Buster, rather than the usual token one or two strips. Most issues of Monster Fun were published with a centrefold pull-out or special feature, often Leo Baxendale’s ‘Badtime Bedtime’, which retold well known stories in a comically morbid manner. We do not sell issues of Monster Fun that are incomplete. Half a dozen issues fresh in this update.
