NOT the kind of surprise party you want to get stuck at... The Claw makes more trouble for Mort Meskin's the 'Press Guardian"!

This month it's Charles Biro who finally out did Novick with a dark, violent, bondage cover featuring some headless, brain in a jar villains!

Zambini the Miracle Man, may have been last, but Lin Streeters art made it memorable!
