COVER VERSION

With Kong: Skull Island opening this weekend…

Monster-of-the-Week: …it only seems right to acknowledge one of the greatest pop-culture monsters of all time, so how about…


…this rendering of the Eighth Wonder of the World by the great Frank Frazetta, on the cover of this 1976 paperback edition of the 1932 Delos Lovelace novelization of the original movie. It was reprinted in 2005…



…by The Modern Library. I wonder if it was the first novelization ever to have that distinction?

  1. I had that very 76' paperback. Frazetta and my puberty are indelibly linked.
