Auro, Lord of Jupiter in "The Monstrosity of Death" (Fiction House;1942)









    This classic golden age adventure starring Auro, Lord of Jupiter is from Planet Comics #20 (Sept. 1942); originally published by Fiction House. The story is written by Dick Charles and illustrated by Rafael Astarita. The pulp-style front cover is drawn by Dan Zolnerowich. In this saga, horror and destruction threaten Auro's adopted planet of Jupiter as the towering villain Moti attacks our intrepid, sci-fi/jungle hero. Once again, there was no clear title listed for this story, so I plucked one from the opening paragraph on the splash page.

    The Catacombs is grateful to Don "Zu-Gogo" Falkos for providing the scans for this story. Note: The copyright for this issue, its contents and artwork belong to the original publisher and/or the creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes. Given the "monster" of this fine tale, please consider this week's post a precursor to next weekends kick-off of the Catacombs month-long Halloween celebration dubbed "Strange Terrors". See you then and enjoy!
