A Ken Kelly cover brings The Fly to the front of Issue #104, and Robert Bloch haunts the contents twice — once as the subject of a “Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” piece, once pleading the fans’ case in “Son of Psycho,” the famous call to help save the Ackermansion. Vincent Price stalks through Theatre of Blood, Amicus opens its Vault of Horror, and the snakes of Sssssss slither in behind them.
A painting of THE FLY — the original 1958 shocker's iconic human-headed insect, the most disturbing thing that ever pleaded for help at a spider's web.
A piece of fandom history hides in Issue #104: Robert Bloch’s “Son of Psycho” appeal for the Ackermansion is the kind of inside-baseball artifact FM lore is built on — and Ken Kelly’s Fly cover holds the wall on its own.
