Monster Fun Comic #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the delightfully weird first issue of Monster Fun Comic (1975), a 6p gem from IPC, Ken Reid’s distinctive art brings to life a tale where Martha’s dad hands her a mysterious jar of old make-up—only for it to warp her face in the most unsettling way. With her mum shrieking and hair flying, Martha flees in panic straight to the town’s dress shop, setting off a chain of bizarre, hilarious, and slightly spooky events. Robert Nixon’s cover captures the chaos perfectly, a fitting start to a comic full of offbeat horror and humor.
Martha’s dad hands her a jar of vintage studio make-up, unaware it’ll turn her face into a grotesque spectacle—her curls springing to life and her mum fleeing in terror as she dashes to the dress shop. A delightfully silly, one-page gem from Monster Fun Comic #1 (1975), blending campy horror and suburban chaos.
In a future where the Posh family hires robots to solve their mouse problem, two contenders—Dough Nut and Rusty—arrive with big personalities and even bigger egos, turning a simple pest control job into a battle of wits and whimsy. Written by a young and sharp mind, the story’s clever humor unfolds in just two pages, packed with charm and a touch of chaos.
Jo and her family’s car breaks down on a lonely road, only to be approached by a witch who trades them magic beans for the vehicle. The beans sprout into a towering beanstalk that lifts their caravan high into the clouds, where a giant with a taste for travelers has other plans.
In a delightfully absurd twist, Brainy’s latest experiment turns an apple—and its worm—into something far too large, leading to a hilarious mix-up when the old woman next door mistakes the giant worm for her sausage dog and takes it for a walk.
In the 1975 adventure tale "null" from Monster Fun Comic #1, the chaos begins when a lightning strike knocks out the computer controlling the animatronic dinosaurs on an Anvil Films set—suddenly, the creatures are no longer on screen, but real, and on the move.
