MONSTER HUNTERS #12, March 1978

Behind this rather pedestrian cover ( I'm unsure of who drew this, but it sure looks like Carlos Vila, or at the very least the Recreo Studio), lies some rather good stories.

Issue #12 was the final "All New" issue (with the following issue containing but a single new 8 pager), and despite the lackluster cover the interiors deliver the goods.

First up is Snake Charmer with art handled by the aforementioned Carlos Vila. This one is filled with panels of the antagonist in various states of skimpy dress/undress, and certainly pushed the boundaries of what the Code would allow. There's even an instance of a "nip slip" that somehow got past the code watchdogs!

Follow that up by the able team of Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia with one their "swamp" stories and add in the always fine looking art of Dick Piscopo to round out the issue and we are treated to a pretty decent book. Those who skipped over it on the racks due to it's cover missed out on some pretty good stuff!

BEYOND THE GRAVE #5 May 1976

It was 1976, and Charlton was slowly winding down it's run of new stories and art before switching over to an all reprint line. However, there were still some great books coming out, and this one was quite good, in the scheme of things.
The swashbuckling cover by Bob Hall really must've popped out on the spinner racks (it did for me , as I can clearly remember buying this when it came out and choosing it over a Marvel or DC).
The interior art is no less impressive, with stories by Ditko, Charles Nicholas &Bob Layton, and Dick Piscopo!
The letters page features illustrations by Sanho Kim, Pat Boyette, and a third artist I have yet to identify.
