Destiny just keeps chugging along through this first issue of the MONSTER TIMES -a journal reporting duly upon “firsts.” Not wishing to alienate fans of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which first brought Boris Karloff to the imagination of the American public, we present this specially commissioned poster portrait visual allegory of FRANKENSTEIN, as conceived by master horror illustrator, BERNI WRIGHTSON.
This is the first of many centerfold spectaculars; visual treats designed just for you and your wall.
Yon gargantuan mini-sistine-chapel of horror and ghoulish draftsmanship before you is suitable for ye framing. All C-folds will be, in fact… just another example of how the unemployed elves and expatriate gnomes of the Black Forest busy here at THE MONSTER TIMES are always thinking of you.
Next issue’s poster: STAR TREK! – by Gray Morrow!
In future issues we’ll be presenting such goodies as a portfolio of production sketches and the lost ad campaign art of KING KONG! At other times we’ll feature our giant tabloid-sized comic art pages in color in this center spotlight.
As an extra bonus, we also present in this issue (on pages 20 & 21) NOSFERATU in comic book form, conceived brilliantly by Berni’s burgeoning baneful brush.
