Monster Menace

(Marvel, 1993-1994)
Marvel

Marvel Comics largely survived the fifties by publishing countless monster and science-fiction stories. Titles like Amazing Fantasy and Tales of Suspense spun numerous yarns featuring monsters like Fin Fang Foom and Tim Boom Ba. The tales ranged from the poignant to the outlandish, with no concept too outrageous to try at least once.

For readers who missed the big monster stories the first time around, Marvel presents these “classics” again in Monster Menace. (Marvel simultaneously reprinted some of non-monster horror/science-fiction tales in Curse of the Weird.) Monster Menace is a step into the past for modern comics readers, including early art from legends Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby, and written by the inimitable Stan Lee.
