Inside This Issue
Famous Monsters heads south of the border: Issue #124 puts Mexican horror on the cover — Ken Kelly painting German Robles’ aristocratic vampire — as the “Monsters from Mexico” series hits its stride inside. “Terror of Transylvania” pays tribute to Bela Lugosi, “Frankenstein’s Creator” profiles director James Whale, the Daleks invade in Dr. Who and the Daleks, and The Hindenburg brings disaster-movie fire in “Hell in the Heavens.”
Cover Spotlight
Ken Kelly paints German Robles as the vampire El Conde Lavud — the Mexican horror icon rarely seen on American monster magazine covers, getting a long-overdue FM spotlight.

☠ Collector's Notes
Mexican horror has few American-newsstand landmarks, and Issue #124 is one of them — a key issue for that fandom, with the Monsters-from-Mexico series in full stride inside. The James Whale profile adds Frankenstein-history depth.
