Scary Monsters #139 is a monster-kid treat that caters to monster-movie kids ("Chilling Children, Awful Adolescents and Terrible Teens," that is), packaged by Scott Jackson's vibrant, Village of the Damned, front cover and his terrific, back-cover collage celebrating the petulant personas of The Good Son, The Bad Seed, Bad Ronald and Twilight Zone's "It's a Good Life."
But that's not all when it comes to youthful terrors, for Issue #139 commemorates Village of the Damned 1995, Children of the Damned, (These are) the Damned, The Innocents, The Omen 1976, Carrie 1976, Horror High (aka Twisted Brain), The Children, Death is Child's Play, Come Out and Play, Ruby and Untamed Youth, along with a historic look of the lethal Leopold and Loeb.
For added, demented fun, Issue #139 sports articles on The Horror of Frankenstein and Phantom of the Opera 1925 (as it reaches its 100th-year mark) and essays on such Jekyll/Hyde variants as the Incredible Hulk and Batman's Harvey (Two-Face) Dent, as well as shape-shifting entities (e.g. X-Men's Mystique and The Hideous Sun Demon), embellished by "50 Wonderful Things About Dracula" (adorned, no less, by nifty, Lugosi photos), plus creepy cartoons ("Roomies from the Tomb" and "Burn Notice") and those reliable, Scary Monsters' staples, "Kaiju Corner", "Secret Photo," "Caption This," "Monster Kid Trivia Quiz" and "Trilogy of Terror."
This 150-page treasure chest of chills and thrills is certainly worth having and can be purchased at
