Inside This Issue
Four franchises, one cover: Issue #151’s collage says everything about where the genre was headed, and the previews inside stack up — Christopher Reeve’s Superman, Ralph Bakshi’s animated Lord of the Rings, and the Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake. “A Rick Baker Monsterpiece” checks in on the rising makeup star, and the Mighty Joe Young filmbook concludes.
Cover Spotlight
Four photos span this cover — Christopher Reeve as SUPERMAN, the Gollum from Ralph Bakshi's THE LORD OF THE RINGS, a Cylon warrior from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and STAR WARS action figures — a snapshot of genre entertainment at the dawn of the blockbuster era.
☠ Collector's Notes
Snapshot value: Issue #151’s four-franchise collage is the late-’70s genre boom in a single cover, and collectors of Superman and Bakshi Rings ephemera both claim it. Rick Baker content sweetens it for effects watchers.
