FM’s fifth-birthday number: a retouched photo of Bela Lugosi’s Dracula dispatching Dwight Frye, beside a prop severed head from The Raven. Inside is the early run’s great memorial issue — farewells to Willis O’Brien, Tod Browning, and Charles Laughton — with a Dracula history drawn from Lugosi’s own scrapbook notes.

Curious where this copy came from? Every book here has a history — ask me in the Groups.
