At Mycomicshop listings, you can quickly flip through all the covers, but at the Readcomiconline site, you can more slowly (where they are included) look at the larger images and really see the detail. For the one listing Readcomiconline didn't have the full issue, I linked the Mycomicshop listing, so you can at least see what the book looks like.

LEGION OF MONSTERS
1 Neal Adams cover, Sep 1975

A great painted cover that includes almost all the classic Hollywood movie monsters. I'm amused by the lax facial expression on Frankenstein, who almost looks stoned.

This also could be connected to work in THE ART OF NEAL ADAMS, a fanzine published by SQ Productions (who also published the aforementioned HOT STUF' anthology, that also included Adams material.
THE ART OF NEAL ADAMS issue 1 (1975) was mostly unused or pencil-versions of covers, or Adams' Continuity Associates advertising pages, and other pin-ups by Adams.

ART OF NEAL ADAMS issue 2 (1977) had a black and white "Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolf" 16-page story. It says in issue 2 that this story was created for a Power Record, and that it already was published in color for that, and was published in ART OF NEAL ADAMS 2 in black and white for those who missed it the Power Records version in 1975.
I've never seen the Power Record version, but apparently it was actually published, as this Youtube video of the pages and record-audio confirms.

Then in 1984-1985, after Pacific Comics ceased publishing (ECHO was originally to be a Pacific title), the "Frankenstein, Werewolf, Dracula" story was instead serialized in what became the first title published by Continuity Associates., ECHO OF FUTURE PAST.
House ads (one ad appears in Pacific's BOLD ADVENTURE 2) showed ECHO issue 1 as a coming Pacific title. But Pacific's folding ended up pushing Continuity Associates to become a comics publisher itself. Eclipse Comics picked up publication of other cancelled Pacific ttiles : MR MONSTER , ALIEN WORLDS, TWISTED TALES, BERNI WRIGHTSON, SOMERSET HOLMES, SIEGEL AND SHUSTER and others were concluded in issues published by Eclipse.
The "Frankenstein, Werewolf, Dracula" story was serialized in ECHO OF FUTUREPAST 1-5, and was expanded (in color this time) from the original 16 pages, to 42 pages.


ECHO OF FUTURE PAST
1 "Frankenstein" 8p, May 1984
2 "Frankenstein" 7p, Aug 1984
3 "Werewolf" 10p, Nov 1984
4 "Werewolf" 6p, Feb 1985
5 "Count Dracula" 11p, Mar 1985

And followed by "AE-35" series in issues 6-9 :
6 William Jungkuntz p/ Neal Adams inks, 9p, July 1985
7 William Jungkuntz p/ Neal Adams inks, 8p, Aug 1985, + Junkuntz/Adams cover
8 William Jungkuntz p/ Neal Adams inks, 8p, Dec 1985
9 William Jungkuntz p/ Neal Adams inks, 8p, Jan 1986 (last episode, not concluded) + Jungkuntz/Adams cov


And from Pacific, prior to that company ceasing publication :

SKATEMAN
1 "Skateman" 19p, Nov 1983
Also at: https://viewcomiconline.com/category/skateman/

I vaguely recall SKATEMAN was another shelved Power Records project.

Just as CONAN 116, Nov 1980, the full issue linked in the Marvel checklist above, was originally published as a Power Record (issue PR-31) in 1976.
Then was re-worked with a few addiional pages as a CONAN THE BARBARIAN fill-in issue in 1980.

And EPIC ILLUSTRATED 7 published "Holocaust" in 1981, another unused abandoned Power Records project.
