Inside This Issue
Wonder gets a preview in Issue #141: Close Encounters of the Third Kind arrives in FM’s pages ahead of release, while “Godzilla Vs. All Comers” looks back across the whole Toho battle roster. Paul McGuire charts every Sinbad adventure with filmography in hand, “V is for Vengeance” traces revenge through the genre, and Don Glut pens a farewell to the great character player Bruno VeSota.
Cover Spotlight
A color still of Richard Dreyfuss and Melinda Dillon bathed in alien light from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND — Spielberg's vision of first contact as wonder rather than terror.
☠ Collector's Notes
Early Close Encounters coverage gives Issue #141 its time-capsule charge, while the Toho retrospective keeps Godzilla collectors interested. A bridge issue between monster tradition and the sci-fi boom.
