Previewing ‘Monster Fun’ #17: Time For More Beastly Books In The All-Ages Monthly
by Richard Bruton
Time for another of the now monthly Monster Fun comic, packed with goodies from the pages of the original Monster Fun and brought bang up to date for all-ages fun!
Yes, another 36 pages packed with comic strips including old classics brought back to life with new talent at the helm such as Gums, Martha’s Monster Make-Up, and Kid Kong, plus all-new stuff like Hell’s Angel, Peaches’ Creatures, and Witch Vs Warlock.
It’s an issue celebrating the world of frightening fiction this month, so you have the joys of Kid Kong and Gran chasing down a runaway spell book, Hell’s Angel shows dad all the wonders of books, whilst there’s more thrills in the ongoing adventures Rex Power and Peaches’ Creatures – the former all about an intergalactic bounty hunting alien dinosaur and the latter with Peaches Jones zipping round the world to find and recruit monsters for a secret mission. Also this month, the debut of another brand-new strip – Molly’s Mummy, all about the coolest mum in the tomb!
Another fine, fine month of all-ages treats to be found inside. A full preview below, but here’s a couple of stand-outs for you…
