Cover by Frank McCarthy. Art by Jack Sparling. Cover number is #01-880-912. Dell Movie Classics presented comics based on Hollywood films (not all of them classics). This issue is based on the 1969 sci-fi Western produced by Charles H. Schneer and Ray Harryhausen. It's cowboys vs. dinosaurs, a combination that will make any little kid's heart jump for joy. When cowboys explore the Forbidden Valley in Mexico at the turn of the 20th century, rodeo cowgirl TJ and stuntman Tuck are startled to find prehistoric creatures. Efforts to capture creatures for the circus unleash Gwangi, an allosaurus who then runs amok in the streets of the town. The original film had effects by the great Ray Harryhausen, and was conceived by Harryhausen's mentor, Willis O'Brien of King Kong fame. Cover from the movie poster by Frank McCarthy. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.15.

Wolfman (1963 Dell) Movie Classics 410 CGC 3.5

Paper: Off white

Second Printing.

Label #4625185001

Second printing. Story by Robert Bernstein. Art by Bob Jenney. A tale of horror from Dell, inspired by the classic Universal Monster movie The Wolf Man. Med students Albert and Milo meet in Paris in the 1800s, after which Milo returns to his remote Transylvanian village, which lives in fear of the strange Vorcia and his pack of wolves. When Milo falls under Vorcia's spell, Albert comes to help and learns the deadly secret of the Wolf Man. An interesting side-note: The Comics Code forbade werewolf stories at this time. So Dell, which primarily did children's comics, published the only werewolf comics from an American publisher until the 1970s. Considered part of Dell's Movie Classics line, although not listed as such on the cover. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.
