Scary Monsters #126 strikes with a mythological bash, as Scott Jackson's epic wraparound-cover ideally implies.
To substantiate this issue's theme, there's a classy countdown of J.R.R. Tolkien creatures; a Peter Jackson salute; Rankin/Bass' animated Hobbit; Arthurian lore (spotlighting the ghostly Green Knight); Gulliver's Travels adaptations; as well as such Toho Titans as Gorath, Hedorah and Varan.
To keep the legendary strand flowing all the stronger, there area rticles on the fetching Faith Domergue (This Island Earth; Cult of the Cobra, It Came From Beneath the Sea); Golden Age actresses and their psychotic, cinematic flings (Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? '62; Flesh Feast, The Dead Don't Die '75); Hammer's exotic Karnstein trilogy (Vampire Lovers, Lust of the Vampire, Twins of Evil); weird westerns (Into the Badlands, House II, Undead or Alive); werewolf flicks (Cry of the Werewolf, An American Werewolf in London, Return of the Vampire); plus gorillas and their faithful, human females (Gorilla at Large; Gorillas in the Mist; Mighty Joe Young '49).
Seize this monumental tour de force while it lasts at your favorite bookstore and/or online source. It's a legendary winner from mythic start to finish!
