What Were They Thinking: Monster Mash-Up

    (Boom!, 2006)
™ and ©2006 Boom! Studios

Undersea creatures, Bigfoot, and alien beings were all staples of classic monster comics from the 1950s and 60s. When you see the art here, you’ll think you’re reading one of those old comics again. But what creators Joe Casey and Keith Giffen, among others, have done is to take those classic comics and totally rewrite them, with new dialogue and a hilarious new perspective. The result is that a man who was reflecting on being saved by strange creatures is now thinking about the sexual escapades he’s had with them, while a hunting party that was probably originally talking about the monsters they’d encountered now bickers about the etiquette of wearing a green hat in the jungle.

Totally irreverent, these “remixed” stories will be fun for fans of those old monster comics who want to see them in a new light. Cool art by legends like Steve Ditko make the experience even better.
