Inside This Issue
The hundredth. Issue #100 throws a party worthy of the milestone, Basil Gogos crowning it with a celebratory portrait of Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein Monster. Inside, “We Laughed All the Way to the Morgue” looks back across FM’s first fifteen years, Forry and James Warren co-sign the editorial “Forry’s Folly,” and the issue mourns Edward G. Robinson and — in “Kong Men Die” — King Kong’s own Robert Armstrong and director Merian C. Cooper. A centennial of monster love.
