Monster of the Day

OK, I'm pushing the 'monster' thing a bit, but c'mon, look at that thing, it's awesome.

We've seen some of the earliest stop-motion dinosaurs this week. This is one of the earliest slurpasaurs. Amazing to think this sort of thing remained in use through the '60s, and in some fairly big budget movies.

OK, that's a nice process shot.

    I'm thinking they had a lot of fun designing these monsters. And they have a real mythic feel, what with the mixing of different kinds of animals. I like how the scientist is pointing out the fight. Otherwise I'm sure she never would have noticed it.

This is a nice addition, since it adds super-science to the post-apocalyptic landscape. I wonder if this was a leftover of a previous age, or the work of a contemporary mad scientist.

Hmm, that reminds me, I should go see a dentist before my insurance runs out.

As noted previously, I'm a tad distracted right now, and I have a ton more of these Samson covers in place, so we'll go with them again. They are pretty sweet. This is a reprint of the cover for issue #7, used as the cover of the first of the Dark Horse Archive reprint…
