Creature from the Black Lagoon (11/54) - "The Creature" Dell Comic 2nd Printing (1964)

 

I was quite pleased to find a copy of this elusive Creature comic book from Dell a few years back, even if only a second printing, as it was in relatively good condition and reasonably priced. The cover painting is by Vic Prezio, who did a lot of paperback and magazine illustration work, including a number of Warren magazines such as Famous Monsters of Filmland (Curse of the Demon on issue #38), Monster World (a Creature portrait on issue #4), Creepy and Eerie


Bob Jenney's interior art is not quite as impressive. 


Still, one could argue that the Creature fares better than Julia Adams.
