Issue #57 oozes onto the stands behind a Vic Livoti painting from the gloriously goopy The Green Slime. Boris Karloff anchors the issue as “The Undying Monster” in a Frankenstein retrospective, Robert Bloch lends his wit, and Invasion of the Vampires hauls Mexican gothic into the lineup — pulp horror at its most globe-trotting.
A painting from THE GREEN SLIME — the 1968 Japanese-American co-production's tentacled electric monsters, gloriously and unapologetically over the top.
A rarer signature: Vic Livoti’s Green Slime painting gives Issue #57 one of the run’s least-common cover credits, a draw for artist-roster completists. Inside, the “Undying Monster” retrospective continues the long goodbye to Karloff begun in Issue #56.
