Inside This Issue
“Monsters of the World Unite” — Issue #112 sounds the call for the first Famous Monsters Convention, while Basil Gogos hangs one of his showpiece Bride of Frankenstein paintings out front. Inside: rare Bela Lugosi photos in “Such Men Are Dangerous,” Forry’s gloriously unimpressed review of Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein, the animated wonders of Fantastic Planet, and farewells to Agnes Moorehead and Bud Abbott — Endora and the straight man, gone in one season.
Cover Spotlight
Basil Gogos captures both Karloff's Monster and Elsa Lanchester's Bride in a single cover painting from THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN — two icons of Universal horror, together at last on an FM cover.
☠ Collector's Notes
A showpiece of the mid-’70s run: the Gogos Bride of Frankenstein cover does the heavy lifting, and the first Famous Monsters Convention preview inside makes Issue #112 a lore piece as well as a looker. Rare Lugosi photos sweeten it for the Dracula faithful.
