"Monsters of the Movies
Curtis Publishing
Editors: Roy Thomas, Jim Harmon
June 1974 - Aug. 1975

Curtis was the imprint that Marvel used for it's b/w magazines from 1971 to 1980. The name derived from Marvel's distributor Curtis Circulation. Covering classic and contemporary horror movies, Monsters of the Movies included interviews, articles and photo features. The mag also featured some excellent cover art from Marvel's stable of artists. The mag's staff was half west coast fans and half east coast Marvel bullpen members and tensions between the two groups are likely what brought about the demise of Monsters of the Movies, after nine issues. Super Annual Issue #1 is also identified as Vol. 1 No. 9." - quote source
