Monster Hunters #1 - Don Newton cover + 1st Colonel Whiteshroud

Don Newton

Monster Hunters v1 #1, 1975 - The Loch Ness monster is real enough on this first issue's brightly painted cover. Don Newton replicates a panel from an interior story but does a far better job. His layout is cleaner and more concise. The rich brushstrokes of the sky and waves increase the sense of movement. Most noticeably, Newton's vibrant color palette heightens the scene's danger and intensity. Inside, Colonel Whiteshroud is introduced as series host and the head of the Monster Hunters Club. Countess Von Bludd, who has her own series, makes a guest appearance. This issue, which includes artwork by Paul Kirchner, Joe Staton, Wayne Howard and Pete Morisi, was later reprinted in Monster Hunters v2 #1.
