The Complete World Famous Creatures Hardcover

World Famous Creatures – The Complete Collection (Issues #1–4)

From the dawn of Monster Mania!

Before the monster craze took over America, there was World Famous Creatures — the scrappy, wild rival to Famous Monsters of Filmland! Rushed to print in 1958 to ride the wave of monster madness, this short-lived magazine delivered big thrills on a small budget.

Across just four legendary issues (1958–1959), World Famous Creatures packed in giant monster stills, pun-filled captions worthy of Forry Ackerman, and even cut-out monster masks for fans to wear! The publisher tried to outdo Captain Company with its own monster merch — and sharp-eyed readers will even spot early John Severin art lurking in the mix.

Because of the original cutouts and coupons, complete copies are nearly impossible to find — but now you can own the entire, uncut run of World Famous Creatures!

Take a nostalgic dive back to the birth of monster fandom and relive the golden age of ghouls!
