Here we see Stanley trying to more overtly ape an Eerie Publications mag. They've amped up the 'sex' a bit, but still are skipping the gore. I still love how amateurish the art is. This is fanzine-level stuff, and not high grade fanzine. Still, nothing's more terrifying than a (I guess) monster with a…

I'm actually kind of fascinated by the fact that there was a publisher so desperate that doing even shoddier rip-offs of those garish Eerie Publications black and white comics was a thing. These, it turns out, were put out by Stanley Publications, who had been around in the '50s mostly doing those pulpy man…

Astoundingly, it looks like in the early '70s someone was doing even shoddier horror comics than Eerie Publications. Also, I'm not sure as to how original their covers were. This one seems slightly familiar. Oh, yeah. That maybe might be what I was thinking of. If you sorta squint....

More Gorosaurus than Godzilla, but a neat poster nonetheless. The first Godzilla movie I saw in a theater, and man was I disappointed.

Now, back to before we were so rudely interrupted. Here's some bonus material as a make-up. Ah the French, with an expressionistic poster for a flick like Godzilla Raids Again. And note that they weren't so cheap they didn't pay to use the Godzilla name, unlike Warners. Gigantis my ass. The third poster is…

I like how he wears the octopus like a boa. And sorry, had trouble with the front page image. I might have to resave the image after work. I hope you guys had a great weekend. I worked all day Saturday to catch up on some stuff, so that wasn't great. Also lost an…

Sex and violence, the two great draws. We've featured the monster, and also behind the scene candids, and now the poster. And why not? Bless you, Paul Blaisdell. Have a great weekend, everyone. If you're an especial Tom Baker fan, catch the last two seasons--well, British seasons, so we're talking like 16 episodes--of Monarch…
