Monsters Unleashed #5

Marvel's Monsters Unleashed magazine brings the swamp to terrifying life on this 1974 cover, where the hulking, red-eyed Man-Thing looms over a panicked woman in a murky bayou setting — and if that weren't enough, a massive creature with gnashing jaws lurks in the foreground. Bob Larkin's painted cover work captures a genuine sense of dread, with the mist-shrouded trees and moonlit atmosphere giving the whole scene an unsettling pulp-horror mood. Inside, the fun continues with a feature on the Frankenstein Monster, photos, features, and fantasy — plus a Giant-Size Man-Thing pin-up as a special bonus.
