Monsters on the Prowl

    (Marvel, 1971-1975)
™ and ©1972 Magazine Management Co., Inc.

Monsters on the Prowl (originally Chamber of Darkness) combined new material and reprints from Marvel’s prehero Atlas comics (Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense, etc.), a format that Marvel used in a number of its titles during the early 1970s. The new material included stories featuring Kull, a barbarian swordsman created by Robert E. Howard of Conan the Barbarian fame, adapted by Roy Thomas and exquisitely drawn by John Severin. Other fantasy artists of note, including Barry Windsor-Smith and Ralph Reese, also contributed stories to the short-lived series. The back pages of each issue were filled with Atlas monster stories (“I Challenged Groot…Monster from Planet X!”) hacked out by Stan Lee and rescued by terrific art from Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, and others.
