Do you remember Dynamite magazine? My brother and I loved this magazine in the late 70s. Unfortunalely we don't have them anymore. Here's some spooky covers and posters from the collection of
JasonLiebig on flickr.
Dynamite Monster Movie Poster from 1976
Count Morbida Poster from 1976
And here's a "fantasy cover" by JasonLiebig.
I have the following books in my collection.
Count Morbida's Monster Quiz book from 1980. I scanned and posted this entire book in five parts back in 2008.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
The Dynamite Monster Hall of Fame from 1978. Maybe someday I'll scan it too.
I also have Magic Wanda's Dynamite Magic Book from 1976 (buried in a box of books somewhere). What other monster related books did Dynamite release?

Now that post is Dynamite! ;)
Love the covers, and I seriously remember some of these!
I had several of these issues. I especially remember the Sleestak cover. Sadly, none of them made it to my dotage. I would give my eyeteeth (if I actually knew what they were) to see the full issue with the Amazing Randi in it.
Wow, I remember a lot of those. I think the Moster Poster was 3-D, at least things like the eyes were.
I loved Dynamite as a kid! Never saw the Rick Springfield/Stretch Monster cover though - that's hilarious!
The Invisible Man issue was the first issue I had. I had a really long run, but the only other issue here I remember having was the one with The Bride of Frankenstein, Lee as Dracula, Teenage Wolfman cover. I still have the poster with teh shrinking man etc. on it, and might still have the Count Morbida poster. I also own the monster movie book. I think the Sleestak issue might have been one you needed to get a Summer subscription for. I only did that for one or two Summers. It's too bad that Scholastic doesn't revive Dynamite for kids now.
I used to love that Count Morbida. Ah, the good ol' days.
wow, I was JUST thinking about these magazines like YESTERDAY! Great minds think alike! :) Thanks for sharing. These are DYN -o- MITE! (couldn't help myself, sorry)
I have never seen that mag! I guess it never made it Toronto. Too bad, I would have snapped it up!
I used to subscribe to this, too. Many of these covers look familiar...once again, you manage to bring out blasts from the past that I'd forgotten about!
