LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS NO. 2

LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS

Vol. 1 No. 2

1975 (no month)

Publisher:

Editor: Gent Shaw

Cover: Kevin O'Neil

Pages: 16

Cover price: 25p (about 25 cents)

This is the second of the LEGEND HORROR CLASSIC series of 16-page "poster magazines" that were popular in the UK for awhile in the 1970s. This issue the Frankenstein monster is covered. The comic strip drawn by Kevin O'Neil adapts the Universal 1931 version. Oddly, though, O'Neil draws Dr. Frankenstein to look more like Peter Cushing. The foldout poster is of David "Darth Vader" Prowse from Hammer's 1974s FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL. Sub-standard artwork mars this otherwise nifty effort by Mr. Shaw.

Sutton, and of course, reviews.
