The omnibus will also feature material, most likely all the stories starring the above listed characters, minus any stories not related to them from the following comics and magazines:

Marvel has dedicated omnibuses to the other Marvel Monsters in the past, including three volumes of Tomb of Dracula, and one each dedicated to Werewolf By Night and Man-Thing. The one monster that is conspicuously absent from the omnibus line is the one stitched together by a man named Frankenstein, aptly titled in the 1970s as The Monster of Frankenstein. There was a trade paperback collection of the entire 18 issue run (along with some other notable appearances in other comics of the disco era) in 2015, so fans may have to wait a bit longer for the Monster to receive the Omnibus treatment.
Marvel Horror Omnibus will be on sale on September 4 with a suggested retail price of $125.00.
