Old master, new galaxy: Basil Gogos paints Star Wars for Issue #147, and inside Carrie Fisher gives a “Starry-Eyed Warrior” interview as Hammer’s Taste the Blood of Dracula gets the filmbook treatment. “King Boris, the Benign” revisits Karloff’s Thriller years, and the issue mourns two of the uncanny’s own: Night Stalker vampire Barry Atwater and effects veteran Arnold Gillespie.
Basil Gogos paints a Tusken Raider from STAR WARS — the masked desert warriors of Tatooine getting the Gogos treatment, an unexpected but inspired pairing of modern sci-fi and classic monster art.
Gogos painting Star Wars makes Issue #147 a crossover collectible — the magazine’s classic cover hand on the new era’s biggest property — and the Carrie Fisher interview is early, fresh, and quotable. A favorite of both camps.
