Here's my second post featuring Count Morbida's Monthly Puzzle Pages from Dynamite Magazine No. 35 (1977). As a bonus, this issue also had a Dracula postcard.

Count Morbida's Monthly Puzzle Pages

I loved Dynamite magazine when I was a kid in the 70s. I was especially very fond of Count Morbida. Every month the Count had puzzle pages near the back of the magazine. I've found four issues of Dynamite in my collection. I may have more, but I'm not all that organized. :) I've scanned the puzzle pages and will share them during the month.

First up is issue 34 from 1977. The answers are at the bottom, but don't cheat!

Dynamite Monsters

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.

I have the following books in my collection.

So, did anybody take the monster quizzes? How did you do?

I hope everyone enjoyed the Halloween Countdown this year. It was tough keeping up with all of the participating blogs. But it was fun. I'll probably spend most of the weekend catching up on the other blogs. And then I'll probably take a week or two off from blogging. Unless I see something that catches my eye and I have to blog about it :)

Have a ghoulishly good Halloween!!

I got this comment from Harvey Midnight --

Hey, if you're liking the Count Morbida book. My newest entry has an mp3 of the old 'Count Morbida' record that you could get from Dynamite Mag in those days, as well.
