Yeah, pretty much. Tales to Astonish, Tales of Suspense, Amazing Fantasy, and Journey into Mystery featured many of these colorful monsters with legends like Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby serving up some of the creative talent. My experience with many of Marvel's monsters was through my fandom of the Hulk. Being a monster himself, the Hulk has encountered a lot of these forgotten characters. But beyond later Hulk crossovers, the monsters were pretty amazing and great pulp-comics well worth digging in the creates over.
