Description
Monsters on the Prowl #16 Comic
Featuring King Kull in the Forbidden Swamp…
Cover by: Marie Severin & Herb Trimpe
Monsters on the Prowl (originally Chamber of Darkness) combined new material and reprints from Marvel’s prehero Atlas comics (Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense, etc.), a format that Marvel used in a number of its titles during the early 1970s. The new material included stories featuring Kull, a barbarian swordsman created by Robert E. Howard of Conan the Barbarian fame, adapted by Roy Thomas and exquisitely drawn by John Severin. Other fantasy artists of note, including Barry Windsor-Smith and Ralph Reese, also contributed stories to the short-lived series. The back pages of each issue were filled with Atlas monster stories (“I Challenged Groot…Monster from Planet X!”) hacked out by Stan Lee and rescued by terrific art from Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, and others.
Monsters on the Prowl #6 contains:
“The Forbidden Swamp”
Writer: Roy Thomas
Artists: Marie Severin & John Severin
Inkers: Marie Severin & John Severin
Letterer: Artie Simek
Editor: Stan Lee
They ride in silence, weapons at the ready: King Kull, reared in the wild hill-country of distant Atlantis, now risen to the throne of ancient, decadent Valusia… Brule, called the Spear-Slayer, barbarian from the Pictish Isles and now Kull’s most trusted friend… and six Red Slayers, mightiest Men-at-Arms of the proudest soldiery in all the world. Aye, they ride in stony silence thru the steamy vastness, the brooding wilderness which men call… The Forbidden Swamp!
King Kull, along with his friend Brule and a group of Red Slayers enter the Forbidden Swamp, trying to locate the Temple of the Serpent-Men believed to be hidden within. They kill several Serpent-Men along the way until they finally spy the temple on the other side of a large river. They fashion a raft out of logs and attempt to cross the river when they hear chanting from three Serpent-Men priests. The chanting brings forth a giant river dragon, which nearly kills the group of adventurers. They manage to get across the river, however, and kill the priests with Kull proving immune to their weapons. Kull alone enters the temple where he encounters Thulsa Doom, who claims that he had come to the temple to rescue to beloved, but was too late as her body lay prostrate across the alter. Kull invites Thulsa back to his city despite the protestations of Brule and the others who have heard rumors of the lord’s evil ways. Kull dismisses their warnings, however, saying that he will be welcome until he does something to make himself unwelcome.
Features the 4th comic book appearance of King Kull beautifully illustrated by master artists, Marie Severin & John Severin.

“Where Walks The Ghost?”
Writers: Steve Ditko & Stan Lee
Artist: Steve Ditko
Inker: Steve Ditko
An escaped convict looks to buy a house that has the reputation of being haunted so people will steer clear of him, but when he meets up with a real estate agent that turns out to be the ghost that haunts the prospective property, he turns himself in to the police for his own protection.

“Mister Morgan’s Monster”
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Jack Kirby
Inker: Dick Ayers
In the year 2090 an inventor creates a robot as a prototype for public servants but the populace distrusts them and he is made to destroy them. He accepts the pronouncement, but secretly hides one away underground. He tells it to remain here until the day humanity no longer fears. Alien invaders are observing the creature and wish to capture it and duplicate it to create an invasion force. They use hypno-gas to knock the humans out and order the machine to follow them, but it refuses, staying loyal to its creator. A struggle ensues, and they bind the robot with chains and drag it towards their spaceship. The struggle has consumed so much time that the humans are waking up and the aliens realize they don’t have time to make it back to the ship so they blow themselves up as to keep the invasion plan secret. The inventor finds his sole remaining robot outside and tells his wife that she was right, and that the machine could not be trusted. Unnoticed, a single tear falls down the face of the deactivated android.
