Would you like a monster of your very own?

Would you like a monster of your very own?

If so, the comics ads of 1971 have you covered!

Kirk Demarais’ ever-informativeĀ Mail-Order Mysteries says if you joined up with the Monster Fan Club the rewards were not as cool as the ad suggests. A poster of a moon monster, actually the infernal horror fromĀ Curse of the Demon (1957). A membership card in the Horror Fan Club. And photos of the three monster masks, all of them cheap masks (but not, it seems, cheap enough to ship to you).

Even at $1 a pop, I imagine the people behind this made out well.
