Product Description
This work provides a critical overview of monster magazines from the 1950s to the 1970s. The term "monster magazine" is a blanket term, which, for the purposes of this study is used to describe both magazines that focus primarily on popular horror movies and magazines that contain stories featuring monsters which are illustrated in comic book style but printed in black and white.

monster movie lovers beware July 2, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you are a fan of comics, you might find this very superficial overview interesting, but fans of monster MOVIE mags will be disappointed. Though he warns in the product description that he covers both film and comic magazines, it is not evenly divided, but very heavily weighted towards comics. When Castle of Frankenstein gets 2 and a half pages, but a Marvel monster comic mag called Monsters Unleashed gets 7, you can see the slant. Much of text taken up by lengthy lists of table-of-contents of sample issues, which is a shame because the author can write, but seems to have just padded the book with many of these table-of-content lists, with short paragraphs of actual text after each.
