BLACK FRIDAY COMC PICKUPS - PART 4: KONGA

BACK TO SOME OLDY MOLDY CARDS

THE GODZILLA VS. KONG TRAILER RECEINTLY DROPPED SO THIS IS ALMOST KINDA TOPICAL

1966 MONSTER LAFFS KONGA

I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN A BINDER TOGETHER FOR ALL THE RANDOM MONSTER CARDS I'VE PICKED UP THROUGH THE YEARS. THIS CARD FEATURES A SCENE FROM THE MOVIE KONGA, A BRITISH KING KONG RIPOFF WHERE ALFRED FROM BATMAN TURNS A BABY CHIMP INTO A RAMPAGING MONSTER WITH SOME GROWTH SERUM OR SOME SUCH NOSENSE. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM UNLESS IT WAS ON MST3K OR SOMETHING AND I SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE THAT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE JOKE CAPTION IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN WHICH IS FAIRLY COMMON ON THESE CARDS. NEVERTHELESS, SOLIDARITY WITH OUR SANITATION DEPARTMENT COMRADES. STICK IT TO THE MAN

THIS SET IS AN ODD ONE. SO THE DEAL WITH THIS SET IS THAT IT IS A REPRINT OF A PREVIOUS MONSTER LAFFS SET THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED LIKE THE 1980-81 BASKETBALL SET WITH THREE PERFORATED CARD PANELS. THIS SET IS CALLED THE 1963 MONSTER LAFFS MIDGEES SET WHICH IS A RIDICULOUS NAME. THE ORIGINAL HAS 153 CARDS IN IT, WITH A BUNCH BEING SHORT PRINTED BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY WERE. THIS REGULAR SIZED SET ONLY SWIPES 66 CARDS FROM THAT SET, MAYBE A SECOND SERIES GOT CANCELLED

THE DESIGN ON THESE THINGS IS VERY SPARSE BUT I LIKE IT. THE NUMBER TOMBSTONE WITH SKULL, MOON BAT AND EXTENSIVE CROSSHATCHING IS AWESOME, AS IS THE TITLE LETTERING. BAD JOKE IS AS DARK AS IT IS TERRIBLE. ALL THESE CARDS ARE FROM GOOD OLD AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES. SAMUEL Z. ARKOFF AND ROGER CORMAN AND BERT I. GORDON FUCK YEAH. THIS CHECKLIST IDENTIFIES A LOT OF THE MOVIES THE CARDS TOOK PICTURES FROM AND NOW I WANT TO GO WATCH SOME CRAPPY MONSTER MOVIES AND SEE IF I CAN IDENTIFY SOME MISSING MOVIES
