Frankenstein in Spaaaaaaaace

[RSS]

My friend Corey sent me this image the other day and it's such a goofy marriage of two things I like, that I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before.


I'm assuming Collegeville had the bright idea that NASA would send monsters into space or is it that Astronauts were coming back as monsters, I'm not sure. If you had this suit as a kid drop me a line as to what the smock looked like.

They already did, several times; The Quatermass Experiment comes immediately to mind, but there are many others ...

with the astro spook logo looks like it was a planned NASA usage of monsters in deep space missions. That would be a great movie or at least comic.

Didn't the Creature Commandos "die" on a space mission the first time around?

from Wikipedia
At the end of the war, the remaining Creature Commandos and J.A.K.E. 2 (and his cat and dog) were forced to man a rocket aimed at Berlin. But the rocket went radically off course and headed out of the atmosphere into deep space. Much, much later, they (with J.A.K.E. as of Action Comics 872) appeared as captured in Brainiac's ship (Action Comics 868).[

I remember this as a kid and seeing other kids wear it at the school costume parade. Never understood the concept and thought it was knock off of the astronaut and Evel costume.

Is it me or does the face look like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith? Maybe it's the lips.

I would love to have that costume in a box.

maybe it was inspired by Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.
