As we enter into October it's time to think spooky and scary. This week's theme is "Classic Monsters", for examples: werewolves, vampires, witches, Frankenstein, and the Mummy.

[Puma]

[Michael P]

Morbius, the Living Vampire.

[Cloudman]

what is that?

I can confirm that it is Morbius. I like that cover.

[thehod]

A classic.

Well, a classic in British comic circles, anyway.

[Mac Danny]

It's Captain America, AS A WEREWOLF!

I've talked about how crappy this story is so much I have to use it.

CAPWOLF!

http://i.livescience.com/images/HauntedTank5.jpg

Nice. And yes, ghosts count.

[whiteshark]

Going with a cover of the most under used classical monster in comic book stories.
The Mummy.

Maybe I should have used this one in the previous contest...

[mattbib]

I've always loved this cover, largely because of Monica Rambeau's presence...

Offhand, I can't think of a worse Avenger for Drac to pick a fight with.

[Jeremi]

Come on punk, make his day.

OK, in with Nazi Vampires.

The other cover I had in mind would've had a Nazi vampire gorilla.

[DubipR]

This was my first issue of Forever People, bought back when I was buying any monster-themed comic I could find. I find it especially interesting that Kirby left the main characters off of the (primary) cover image on this one in favor of a (rather terrific) Frankenstein image.

Cool cover and nice evocation of one of comics' funniest bits of unintentional penis jokes, but you know, even when I first encountered Howard the Duck as a youngin that phrase always bothered me.

Trapped in a world he never made? As opposed to living in the world he came from, which he also didn't make?

[Augusto]

Ok, I'll give you two for the price of one

What is that Ghost Rider? Low Sales?

[The Batman]

http://www.comicsreporter.com/images/uploads/frankenstein24_thumb.jpg

A cover that conveys the horror but also the innocence and wonder and tragedy of Frankenstein's Monster.

[benday-dot]

I want to show some love for the greatest monster of all: Gwangi!

[Drusilla lives!]

Oh nooooo... there goes Tokyo. Oh no, oh nooooo... GODZILLA!!!

Yeah, good luck with that, you two. I'll be over here, kissing my ass goodbye.

[Indigo Al]

Classic vampire in a Vampirella Classic!

[Justin D.]

Probably the best vampire pirate series ever written.

http://image2.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/fullsize/72622401258.5.GIF

(in all seriousness, Sea of Red is one of my favorite books)

[howyadoin]

Oh nooooo... there goes Tokyo. Oh no, oh nooooo... GODZILLA!!!I might have to vote for you just because of the B.Ö.C. quote.

[Donald M.]

I might have to vote for you just because of the B.Ö.C. quote.

Mike has the better Godzilla cover though.

It's such a dilemma.

[Drusilla lives!]

Mike has the better Godzilla cover though.


Ha! Perhaps, but my Godzilla can take on a direct rocket assault and those punk Avengers even with that blast of molten lava to his crotch!... can you say that of his Godzilla? :evilsmile:

[howyadoin]

Mike has the better Godzilla cover though.

It's such a dilemma.Yes, but Godzilla doesn't trump the Blue Öyster Cult.

[Donald M.]

Yes, but Godzilla doesn't trump the Blue Öyster Cult.

She got the lyrics wrong though, so I'm afraid I've got to disqualify her from the running.

Sorry.

[Chris N]

Ha! Perhaps, but my Godzilla can take on a direct rocket assault and those punk Avengers even with that blast of molten lava to his crotch!... can you say that of his Godzilla? :evilsmile:

No. Frankly, I don't even usually refer to it as Michael's Godzilla.

[Slam_Bradley]

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb262/Pat_Tim_Schneider/legion.jpg

[Chris N]

Slam taunts me with one of the comics left on my increasingly short back issue list.

[Drusilla lives!]

She got the lyrics wrong though, so I'm afraid I've got to disqualify her from the running.

Sorry.

Now, now... place the blame where it belongs. Drusilla may pick the covers but I'm responsible for the musical quotes. :biggrin:

And you don't have to apologize... you've the right to vote for the Godzilla of your choice.

[Chris N]

you've the right to vote for the Godzilla of your choice.

And Donald is apparently into Michael's.

[howyadoin]

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb262/Pat_Tim_Schneider/legion.jpgWhose art is that?

Drusilla may pick the covers but I'm responsible for the musical quotes.Heh. How many of you are there?

[Slam_Bradley]

Whose art is that?



Painted by Neal Adams.

[howyadoin]

Painted by Neal Adams.Oh yeah, now that you mention it it's pretty obvious. You can really see it in Frankenstein.

[Lance]

And Donald is apparently into Michael's.

Leave him alone, Chris.

Donald should be able to admire another man's giant lizard without being harassed.

[Drusilla lives!]

Heh. How many of you are there?

Would it make a difference in how many times I'm allowed to vote? :biggrin:

[Donald M.]

Leave him alone, Chris.

Donald should be able to admire another man's giant lizard without being harassed.

Or his Giant Size Man-Thing, for that matter.

[The Confessor]

Well this is a bit of a late entry but here's a pretty recent addition to my collection, which I incidentally recommend wholeheartedly for anyone who like Bram Stoker's original, The Complete Dracula #1...

Or his Giant Size Man-Thing, for that matter.

Never been called that before, either.
