An uncredited painting of Bela Lugosi as Dr. Mirakle from Murders in the Rue Morgue fronts Issue #28. The issue is built around a full Island of Lost Souls filmbook — the 1932 adaptation long banned in Britain — with a Manster filmbook and “The Most Horrible Frankenstein,” on the rarely seen French version.

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