Karloff at his most diabolical fronts Issue #65 — Basil Gogos painting him as the sadistic Dr. Fu Manchu, mid-torture. The issue doubles as a Universal craftsman’s tribute: Karl Freund, the eye behind Dracula and the director of The Mummy, gets a farewell in “The Man Who Made a Mummy Is No More,” The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao works its carnival magic, and Karloff sits for an “Air-Raising Interview.”
Karloff presides over a hapless victim in a torture device in a painting from THE MASK OF FU MANCHU — Boris at his most imperious, his most villainous, and his most perversely enjoyable.
The man behind the camera finally gets the spotlight: Karl Freund shot Dracula and directed The Mummy, and his farewell in Issue #65 honors craft the industry rarely thanked. A book for collectors who care about how the nightmares were actually made.
