Gordon Scott showed the most beefed up hunk of jungle muscle for Tarzan. A bit more chewed up, scarred up, and wild haired look would have completed the picture, but boy did he have biceps to spare.
Sure, Lord Greystoke may be swinging through the trees again, but let's not forget all the other movies of jungle action with the brawny King of the Apes.
More Chilling Tales of Horror for you: more monsters, dead things, and wicked happenings, all in bold black and white. Color would just spoil the gorgeous line art that's neatly paneled across the pages. Of course, this issue's bondage and torture cover is a lot more, umm, spicy and naughty than the actual stories themselves, but hey, monsters and near-naked women sell, sell, sell. Unless you rather see a near naked man on the cover, of course. Hell, I say we put both a near naked man and a near naked woman on the cover, with leering monsters (better make them near naked, too), and cover all the bases. That's marketing, baby. I wonder how many monster kids got a whoopin' from their moms back in 1971 when they saw this issue in the drawer.

The first movie in a series featuring the fictional luchador, Huracan Ramirez.
A humorous illustration of a body rolled up in a sheet, being whisked away at night, makes murder look rather charming in this Mexican lobby card for Una Senora Movida. The style of the illustration, zig-zag border, and inset scene give this lobby a sly Pink Panther-ish playfulness.

Sure, that's right, the women don't count. Just the boys and their flying machines. This movie only recreates the Edwardian Age for Magnificent Men, and we all know women weren't magnificent or funny in the Edwardian Age, right? Yes, movies have come a long way indeed. But still fun once you get past the 1960s male-centric nature of it.

Looking at this Mexican lobby card for Swamp of the Lost Souls, you wouldn't think a gill man is prowling around or this is a horror western. Beautiful illustration and colors are marred by a too-large inset scene (and a boring one at that): would prefer a scene of the gill man.

A nice merging of separate dramatic illustrations in yellow and black makes this Mexican lobby card for El Ahijado De La Muerte eye-catching, capturing the adventure fantasy tone of this noir western well.
