Inside This Issue
Up in the sky: Issue #146 readies fandom for the new Superman with Kirk Alyn — the serials’ original Man of Steel — on hand, while Jaws 2 chums the waters and the Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake looms. Bob Larkin’s gonzo A*P*E cover painting tops it all — a piece of cover art fans still argue about fondly.
Cover Spotlight
Bob Larkin paints a gorilla brawling with a shark over a bikini-clad woman — allegedly from the Korean giant-ape film A*P*E, one of the more audacious covers in FM's entire run.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Larkin gorilla-versus-shark cover is one of the run’s most talked-about images — Issue #146 gets pulled off shelves for the cover alone — and Kirk Alyn coverage ahead of the new Superman gives it superhero-collector pull.
