Inside This Issue
A Basil Gogos cover fronts FM’s milestone first 100-page issue — and not just any Gogos: his first painting of the Frankenstein Monster, done as a try-out piece for James Warren, who bought it on the spot. #13 is a collector’s reference in itself: “Monsters in Review” indexes the first twelve issues, and the issue debuts both Hidden Horrors and the Mystery Photo. Foundational for anyone mapping the early run.
Cover Spotlight
An uncredited painting of a Frankenstein Monster — origin mysterious, magnificence unquestioned — graces what was FM's milestone first 100-page issue.
☠ Collector's Notes
If you collect the first dozen issues, you want the thirteenth — “Monsters in Review” is the era’s own index of them, written while they were still on the stands. A working reference then; a snapshot of how FM saw itself, now.
