Monster Hunters #13

The cover of this April 1978 Charlton issue says it all — a snarling, long-haired giant cradles a tiny, fist-raised man in one massive hand, the glowing yellow burst between them radiating a real sense of otherworldly dread. Steve Ditko's cover art delivers that unmistakable tension between the human and the enormous, making the scale difference genuinely unsettling. With Joe Gill writing and Joe Staton handling art, inks, and lettering on the interior story "Manta!," this issue brings a full roster of Charlton talent to one of the era's most enjoyable horror-adventure anthologies.
