Gold Key turned up the awesome factor to 11 with the April 1966 issue of
The Flintstones #33 by adding not only
Frankenstein's monster and
Dracula, but also the
Wolf Man and
The Mummy! It's a pre-hysterical mad monster party of fun--
Yabba-Dabba-Boo!
Oh MAN! This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff. I love the creature caricatures. There seemed to be a whole cartoon industry built around managing to both evoke the Universal monsters and also dodge their well-defended copyright. I like that these guys actually have Bela's upper lip, say, or Boris' cheeks--while otherwise looking a lot more generalized. Excellent stuff.
