When I was a kid (around 8 or 9, going by the copyright date on the label), I had these exact glow-in-the-dark stickers on the headboard of my bed. I loved them even though they freaked me out a little, and made me feel sort of queasy if I looked at them too long. I found this unopened package in Chicago years ago, and always keep it close by my workspace to 'inspire' me. Stuff like this can bring the kid in me right back to the surface. Just thought I'd share.

me, too! Only mine were on my dresser drawers.
I always thought "I-ONEMAN" was such a clever name!
Hey, Ribs! Just read your Comics Reporter interview yesterday. You sound smart.
I know there were other series of these puffy monster glow stickers, but I couldn't find any on Google. Of course, I wasn't trying that hard. Anyone else out there have a different set of these? If so, Ribs and I want to know what the monsters names were!
Thanks, Jay!
I was totally faking smart, so as my son loves to say: "tricked ya!"
These are the only ones I recall, but were they also at Archie McPhees or something a few years ago? Does that place exist anymore?
Your pal -- Ribs
Jay, I responded to this with a post of my own...
