Plot:
Three short stories written and drawn by some of today’s top
writer’s and artists, all monster and alien abduction
stories. The first, a spoof on 50s alien invasion stories,
complete with the newsprint look, second, the story of a
movie producer shunned by his industry with the perfect
means to get revenge, and third, an alien invasion mystery
with a fifties feel.
Review: This book is another in a series of “Marvel
Monsters” line. It is a fun one shot that combines genres of
monster movies and cheesy alien abduction stories with a
twist. The stories are each uniquely different and are all
an amusing read.
Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of
Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance
preview books for review purposes.
