YEARS: 1973-1978

Probably one of the most iconic, recognizable Ben Cooper boxes. It was designed for their licensed Universal Monster costumes.

The box was also used for King Kong, Godzilla, Bigfoot, Uncle Creepy, and Cousin Eerie costumes without the Universal branding and copyright info.

Design Notes:

The illustrations are based on classic promotional photos for the Universal films but appear to be more directly influenced by Harry Schaare’s box art for Aurora’s 1969/1970 glow-in-the-dark monster model kits (link).

Typefaces: Roberta (modified?).
