A Gogos in the photo-cover era: by Issue #83 his painted covers had grown scarce, and this scene from Universal’s The Mummy’s Tomb is one of the late sightings collectors flag. Inside, Karloff and Lugosi anchor a look back at The Raven, with Hammer’s prehistoric When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth alongside.
