Marvel M-AD-ness: 13 Terrifying Teasers from Macabre Marvel

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! When the Comics Code relaxed its ban on supernatural-style stories, Mighty Marvel unleashed more monsters than Transylvania and all its neighbors! Dig this random sampling of creepy commercials for the creature features that ran in the early 1970s Marvel Mags! What a bounty of blood-curdling books, baby!

Halloween 2016: "The Man from Transilvane!" and "Genocide Spray!" by Kirby and Colletta

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Groove-ophiles! How much more Groovy Age All Hallow's Eve can you get than Jack Kirby orchestrating a battle between the team of Superman, Jimmy Olsen, and the Newsboy Legion vs...the King's own version of our beloved Universal Monsters, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster? Check those apples for razor blades, break out the candy, sit back and enjoy, baby!

"The Man from Transilvane!" from Jimmy Olsen #142 (August 1971)...
























and "Genocide Spray!" from J.O. #143 (September 1971)...




















Aside from the annoying Murphy Anderson Superman and Olsen heads...kinda nifty, huh?
