Alter Ego Vol. 3 #29

Plot

ALTER EGO #29 is our FIRST (and maybe last) ANNUAL HAUNTED HALLOWEEN ISSUE! Behind two spook-tacular covers (Batman by FRANK BRUNNER, and King Kong by PETE VON SHOLLY), we interview FRANK BRUNNER about his mystic/horror work - with rare art of Dr. Strange, Howard the Duck, Marvel's mystery mags, and others! Then, what if Classics Illustrated had adapted King Kong and the monsterpieces of H.P. Lovecraft? Find out - thanks to peerless painter PETE VON SHOLLY! TRINA ROBBINS looks at VENUS, the Timely/Marvel mag that was horror, romance, science-fiction, & super-heroine all wrapped up in one, with art by BILL EVERETT, JOE MANEELY, STEVE LEIALOHA, and more! A trio of timeless terror-masters ("Heap" artist ERIC SCHROEDER, Creepy/Charlton artist BILL FRACCIO, and JAY DISBROW) remembers L.B. COLE! We look at those late-'50s/early-'60s prototypes of The Hulk, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange! Plus: ALEX TOTH, MICHAEL T. GILBERT and MR. MONSTER, BILL SCHELLY talks to JOHN BENSON about EC - and FCA starring MARC SWAYZE, MANLEY WADE WELLMAN, and MORE!!
