I got Monsters Who’s Who (1974) in a lot along with some big books on horror movies (you’ll see those in October). Because everything on the cover is a movie monster, I assumed this one was like the others, but it is actually a pretty fun general monster encyclopedia that casts a wide net. I’ve never encountered it previously, but boy, if I had it as a kid, I’d’ve practically memorized it.

That’s not to say it’s…good. The author, Dulan Barber, had an odd notion of what a monster was. Most books like this are a hodge-podge (looking at you, Jeff Rovin), but this one seems particularly all over the place. There’s a surprising number of characters from Marvel comics, for instance. The Thing, sure, even the Hulk, I get. But Green Goblin, Spider-Man and the members of the Fantastic Four? And sure, Bi-Beast seems to be more of a monster than all the others combined, but who’s ever heard of them? And no representation from DC? And these are alongside the standard assortment of cryptids, mythological monsters, movie monsters and dinosaurs (some of which are pretty obscure, like the nuckelavee and the Monolith Monsters). I love that some of the dinosaur illustrations are photographs of dinosaur toys. There’s a lot of big photographs which I am sure was a big selling point.

Anyway, they can’t all be winners. But also, I wouldn’t exactly call this a loser, just, not as much of a winner as all the others.
