Colossal Beast in 'Eerie' magazine


I'm not sure how many people out there remember it these days, but "Eerie" magazine was a big return to pre-comics code horror during the late-Sixities through the Seventies. The magazine occasionally tried to have reoccuring characters, and one of them was Coffin, a man cursed to live no matter how badly he was hurt by an Indian medicine man when he slaughtered the wrong tribe for an attack on his coach which killed his wife. The thing is, and this is most prominent on the cover art, he was made up to look like the Colossal Beast.

He actually appeared on the cover earlier, but he was made up to look like Trapjaw from He-Man then... yeech!
