Where Monsters Dwell, published by Marvel Comics, was a reprint series, featuring stories that had originally appeared in earlier comics like Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense and Uncanny Tales. The artists who provided cool art for the covers included Jack Kirby, Gil Kane and Marie Severin.
Where Monsters Dwell (volume 1) lasted 38 issues and was published from January 1970 to October 1975. I was too young to have seen the stories in their original comics, so Where Monsters Dwell provided the perfect opportunity for me to catch-up with these wild, creature-tastic yarns!
So, come with me… and feast your eyes on such monsters as Sporr, Rommbu, Kraa… and, of course, Fin Fang Foom!
The main story in this 1970 Where Monsters Dwell issue, “I Challenged… Groot! The Monster from Planet X!”, was originally featured in Tales To Astonish #13, from 1960…

I do not have them, unfortunately. I was a little kid then, and didn’t know I should have preserved my comics.
