Reviewer Notes 

This is one of the new series I’ve been anxious to get as I’m a huge fan of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. He is no doubt my favorite of the Universal Monsters. I remember my mom letting me watch all of the Universal Monster movies when they aired on television back in the 1970s. The St. Louis area had some awesome tv stations back then, and I loved every minute of it.

Unfortunately, we don’t get much monster time in issue one of the “Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!”. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a more action based issue two. Will writer Dan Watters work in elements of the “Shape of Water” version of the creature? That would be a nice touch. I give this introductory issue of Image Comics’ nee series three out of five stars.
