The Son of the Montross Monster
Storyline
The grandson of the creator of the Montross Monster creates another monster so that they will destroy each other and restore the family name.
Characters
- Cain (host - inserted for this reprint, does not appear in original)
Credits
- Pencils: Mort Meskin
- Inks: George Roussos (uncertain)
- Inks: Mort Meskin (uncertain)
Story Notes
The GCD index of the original printing of this story gave Roussos as the inker, the indexer of this printing thought it was Meskin inking himself. It is unknown at this time which is correct. House of Mystery: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1 credits the inks to Meskin. Both Meskin and Roussos have quite distinctive inking styles during this period. Faces in close up generally reveal the inker's identity. This most definitely looks like Meskin.
