''Monster Fun''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s debut issue was dated 14 June 1975. ''Monster Fun Specials'' were printed in 1975 and 1976.

The magazine merged with ''[[Buster (comic)|Buster]]'' to form ''Buster and Monster Fun'' after the 30 October 1976 issue.<ref name="comicvine.com" /> Due to its ongoing popularity, the ''Monster Fun'' logo was printed on ''Buster'''s cover until the summer of 1979.

Despite its short run, ''Monster Fun Annuals'' were printed every year, cover-dated from 1977 until 1985, though all contained some reprint material. They were all distributed in the UK from the autumn of the previous cover-dated year. ''Buster and Monster Fun Specials'' were printed (with much reprint material) every year from 1977 until 1996, making them one of the most long-lived of IPC / [[Fleetway Publications|Fleetway]] titles. Almost all of the other original strips were reprinted in other titles in the 1980s and 1990s.

After ''Monster Fun'''s 1976 merger into ''[[Buster (comic)|Buster]]'', the strips  ''Gums'', ''Kid Kong'', ''X-Ray Specs'', ''Mummy's Boy'', ''Draculass'', ''Teddy Scare'', ''Terror TV'', and ''Martha's Monster Make-Up'' all made the merger.<ref>''Buster'' #19761106 (6 November 1976).</ref>

In February 1982 these merged magazines merged again with ''[[Jackpot (Fleetway comics)|Jackpot]]''. ''Kid Kong'' was terminated on this occasion.

In June 1984 the magazine merged with ''[[School Fun]]''. The comic strip ''Gums'' was terminated on this occasion.

In 1988 the magazine merged with ''[[Nipper (comics)|Nipper]]''. ''Mummy's Boy'' was terminated on this occasion. ''[[X-Ray Specs (comic strip)|X-Ray Specs]]'' had the most longevity continuing until ''Buster'''s end (4 January 2000) though as with the all but one of the last ''Buster'' strips as reprints.
