Inside This Issue

Issue #76 swings from Tokyo to Transylvania: Gray Morrow’s cover pulls a scene from Son of Frankenstein, while the three-headed Ghidrah torches the lead feature. Herbert Lom brings his tormented Phantom, and “Supernatural Lee” tips its hat to Christopher Lee. Kaiju and gothic, side by side.

☠ Collector's Notes

Herbert Lom’s Phantom — the third screen generation of the role — gets his moment in Issue #76, a nice waypoint for anyone tracing the Phantom’s long shadow from Chaney through Rains and beyond. Gray Morrow handles the cover.
