Inside This Issue
Christopher Lee sits for an interview on Dracula A.D. 1972 in Issue #105, behind a Basil Gogos cover of Lee’s Count, and “Rick Baker, Monster Maker” profiles the future effects legend at the very start of his career. The filmbook treatment goes to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein — bittersweet company for “The Lone Stranger,” the issue’s farewell to Glenn Strange, the Monster of that very film. Goodbyes to Joe E. Brown and Michael Dunn, plus fans’ tears for Lon Chaney Jr., round out a heavy-hearted issue.
Cover Spotlight
Basil Gogos paints Christopher Lee as Dracula — perhaps the most naturally suited subject the great FM cover artist ever tackled.
☠ Collector's Notes
Gogos painting Christopher Lee’s Dracula makes Issue #105 a double draw — cover collectors on one side, Hammer faithful on the other — and the early Rick Baker profile gives it reference value the makeup-history crowd prizes.
