<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\nLandor, Maker of Monsters is a fellow who hangs out in a castle and – no big surprise – makes monsters. He’s also the title character of his feature, which is not unprecidented in Golden Age comics but worth noting whenever it’s the case.<\/p>\n
Landor is just about finished with his very first monster when socialites Tony Torrence and his fiance Marcia NoLastName show up at his door seeking shelter from the stormy night. Just why they are on a mountain (in a storm, in the middle of the night) in what appear to be riding clothes is not elaborated on.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nLandor’s first creature, the Brute, is basically a frankenstein and is horny for Marcia. Not only does this mess up Tony and Marcia’s nights but it leads to Landor himself being dashed against a wall when he acts threatening to Marcia and the Brute doesn’t like it.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThe Brute meets his end as a biological crash mat when he and Tony fall off a high balcony. Tony and Marcia flee and between the wall trauma and the obligatory laboratory fire Lando, Maker of Monsters is assumed to be dead.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nBut no! Landor lives! An ass has been made of you and of me! He is merely burnt to a crisp! And it is now he<\/i> who is the horny one, or at least the one who creates a seven foot tall babe in a one-piece swimsuit to do his bidding – is this the one time where attempting to murder a young couple is the more wholesome of two options?<\/p>\n Carda (for that is the flying woman’s name) meets with some initial success but is hampered by the fact that she is very flammable. Marcia sets her wings on fire entirely by accident, by merely holding a torch. This<\/i> time Landor is thought to be dead because he leaps out of a high window.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
