Inside This Issue
The future rides into Issue #107: a Westworld filmbook gives Michael Crichton’s lethal robot resort the full FM treatment. The issue also reports from the second SF-Fantasy convention in “Son of Monster Movie Marathon,” bids farewell to serial star Kane Richmond and to Bud and Wally Westmore of Hollywood’s first family of makeup, and detours into Japanese nightmare territory with Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell.
Cover Spotlight
An uncredited painting of Yul Brynner as the malfunctioning Gunslinger from WESTWORLD — Michael Crichton's eerily prescient 1973 vision of robotic revenge.
☠ Collector's Notes
Sci-fi crossover pull: Westworld coverage this early puts Issue #107 in front of collectors who chase the genre’s robot lineage, and the double Westmore farewell makes it a makeup-history reference point. The red-bordered Masque of the Red Death back cover is a bonus sharp eyes appreciate.
