Inside This Issue
The Twilight Zone goes dark in Issue #121: “Farewell, Rod Serling” mourns the storyteller who taught television to be afraid. Ken Kelly paints Karloff’s Imhotep for the cover, “Monsters from Mexico” opens Walt Lee’s south-of-the-border series, Death Race 2000 arrives as a short story called “The Racer,” and — pure Famous Monsters — publisher James Warren spends the Monstercon in full Frankenstein makeup, courtesy of Verne Langdon.
Cover Spotlight
Ken Kelly paints Karloff's Imhotep from THE MUMMY — the master of FM's later cover era takes on one of Universal horror's founding monsters.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Rod Serling farewell gives Issue #121 lasting reference value — contemporary tributes to the Twilight Zone creator are worth keeping — and Kelly’s Imhotep stands tall in his run of Universal subjects. Solid mid-’70s shelf material.
