Bloodcurler Comics put out Monster Mash #1 as a one-shot in the mid-1960s and is mostly forgotten even among old-time readers. The cover features Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the Mummy and the Wolfman on their way to a jam session. There is also a blurb stating that Frankenstein will meet the Phantom in the next issue but that was never published as far as we know. Thanks to Grok for digging up this "lost" issue for this week's Monster Monday post.

The Phantom #1 Covers
Mad Cave Studios, in cooperation with King Features Syndicate, released The Phantom #1 yesterday. This new series is a modern-day update on the classic jungle hero. Here's the official summary:
"THE GHOST WALKS AGAIN! The Phantom returns! Created by Lee Falks in 1936, the Phantom is one of the first costumed super heroes in history, with untold influence on pop culture. Now, critically-acclaimed creators Ray Fawkes and Russell Olson revive the character for fans old and new. When a violent gang of smugglers stubbles on an idyllic Bandar village, the peace that the Phantom has brought to the African nation of Bangalla will suddenly shatter. It will take all of the Phantom’s many skills — and allies — to restore it. The most exciting series of the year starts here!"
