Monsters Meet

Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolfman were among the first monsters who crossed each others path, and while they didn't during the run of Monsters Unleashed...

...here are a pair of covers with one of each, and a good enough reason to review what's past.

Monsters Unleashed #6 (June, 1974) has a cover by Boris Vallejo, and the Frankenstein Monster made it onto the covers for these previously covered issues of Monsters Unleashed.

A werewolf is about to take out the tomb robbers on the cover of the Monsters Unleashed Annual of 1975 (with art by Ken Bald), with werewolves being the feature of previous covers here.

The last issue of Monsters Unleashed, #11 (April, 1975) has art by Frank Brunner and Dick Giordano, featuring devil hunter Gabriel, who would likely have no problem battling Man-Thing or other monsters as well, exorcising this month of monstrous coverage.

Miscellaneous Monsters

A couple of odd monsters that hit the covers of Monsters Unleashed back in the 1970s....making for some cool art on the covers of that black and white magazine, but they need a little explanation to go along with them!

Monsters Unleashed #7 (August, 1974) features Ch'Manu, under a painted cover by Richard Hescox. Ch'Manu was one of those creatures that was worshiped as a god before mankind existed, but was reduced to handing around in a South American temple until found by some explorers.  

Plus, stories featuring the Frankenstein Monster and Werewolf By Night!

Monsters Unleashed #9 (December, 1974) features the Wendigo, under a painted cover by Earl Norem.  Wendigo has some fame, sharing the cover with the Hulk and the Wolverine in Wolverine's debut.  This solo story has Georges Baptiste as the monster, coming fresh from that encounter with Hulk and Wolverine.  The Wendigo is a person who turned cannibal in Northern Canada, then becomes a supernatural being that feeds on human flesh.  Ew.

Frankenstein Monsters

A couple of artistic covers featuring the Frankenstein's Monster, as the misbegotten monster saves some damsels in distress for Marvel magazines!

Monsters Unleashed #2 (September, 1973) has a cover by Boris Vallejo, with Monsters Unleashed #8 (October, 1974) has a painted cover by Earl Norem.   

Man-Thing Monsters

More Marvel Monsters, as the focus shifts to the Man-Thing, and his two covers of Monsters Unleashed.

Monsters Unleashed #3 (November, 1973) is a painting by Neal Adams, with Bob Larkin providing the painting for Monsters Unleashed #5 (April, 1974), showing off the protector of the nexus of realities, the uncanny Man-Thing, in full color for the covers of these black and white magazines. 

Werewolf Monsters

A couple of covers from Monsters Unleashed featuring werewolfs, as things get a little hairy under the full moon!

Monsters Unleased #1 (June, 1973) has a cover by Gray Morrow, and Monsters Unleashed #4 (February, 1974) is illustrated by Pujolar, incredible covers from the age of Marvel magazines.
