Mr. Monster Attacks! #1

Doc Stearn: Mr. Monster leaps into action on this 1992 Tundra opener, with cover art by Michael T. Gilbert and Dave Dorman delivering a wonderfully lurid scene — the red-suited, M-emblazoned hero stands his ground against a hulking, bulbous-brained alien creature while a terrified woman recoils in the foreground and a mechanical monster looms in the background amid flames and chaos. It's pulpy, gonzo science-fiction horror at its most gleefully over-the-top, capturing everything that makes Mr. Monster such a distinctive corner of comics. Number one of a three-issue series, this is a fine entry point into Gilbert's anything-goes world of monsters and mayhem.
