Inside This Issue
Slapstick meets shudder in Issue #123: “Monsters vs. Stooges” throws the Three Stooges into the monster pit, while Ken Kelly’s cover stays deadly serious with Hammer’s Plague of the Zombies. The Count Dracula Society honors Lon Chaney Sr. in “The Phantom Lives,” “The Ghost of Post” tours Don Post Studios — the mask house that haunted a million Halloweens — Hammer chief Michael Carreras talks shop, and an early look at Logan’s Run rounds the bill.
Cover Spotlight
Ken Kelly paints a face from PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES — Hammer's 1966 tale of voodoo and the undead in Cornwall, one of the studio's most visually striking films.
☠ Collector's Notes
Crossover oddity value: “Monsters vs. Stooges” pulls comedy collectors into Issue #123, while the Don Post Studios feature speaks to the mask-and-prop wing of the hobby. Kelly’s Hammer-zombie cover keeps the whole package firmly in the horror fold.
