The cover, appearing in 1965, sports a fairly early use of the term "monster rally," though as one might expect, the story inside has nothing to do with the opening shot. Not seen on the cover is a "Phantom of Loew's Bijou," and from left to the right we have a Black Lagoon refugee styled "the Beast from 1279 1/2 Fathoms," an unnamed mummy and "Vultura," a pretty clear Vampira spoof. All of them are life-size statues made from "monster kits" but given temporary life by some wacky aliens.
This wacky kid's film pits the two iconic folklore heroes against a motley mashup of monsters, which in this review I described as:
,,,a vampire, a Frankenstein Monster, a Siamese twin named “Two-in-One,” a boogieman, a guy with a carrot-head, a “Child Snatcher,” and a dwarf who can create hurricanes from his breath. Reigning over them all is the Queen of Badness, a dead ringer for the Queen from Disney’s SNOW WHITE...
Appearing in five issues of BLAZING COMICS, Red Hawk took on the evil Japanese, though the positive racial depiction of an American Indian hero was somewhat nullified by the anti-"Jap" slurs.
