Inside This Issue
The giants behind the giant monsters get their due in Issue #110: “Giants from Japan” pays tribute to Godzilla’s effects father Eiji Tsuburaya, and a memorial reprint honors Willis O’Brien, the animator who breathed life into Kong. Basil Gogos handles the Karloff cover and a filmbook on The Ghoul matches it inside, Robert Bloch comes “Calling Dr. Caligari,” a scrapbook revisits Village of the Giants, and — a milestone for fandom — the first Famous Monsters Convention gets its announcement in these pages.
Cover Spotlight
Basil Gogos immortalizes Boris Karloff as THE GHOUL — the 1933 British horror that gave Karloff his first starring role after his Universal Monster breakthrough.
☠ Collector's Notes
Fandom-history value: Issue #110 carries the announcement of the first Famous Monsters Convention — a little landmark collectors like to own. And a Gogos Karloff cover never hurts; the pairing of artist and subject that defined the magazine’s look carries the shelf appeal.
