Inside This Issue
Issue #162 doubles down on the future: opening-night reactions to Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a dive “Deep Inside the Black Hole,” and the troubled birth of Saturn 3. Stephen King talks Salem’s Lot, “Barbie: Doll of Steele” celebrates scream queen Barbara Steele, and a Beast from 20,000 Fathoms filmbook gives Ray Harryhausen’s first solo monster its due.
Cover Spotlight
A color still from THE BLACK HOLE — Disney's ambitious 1979 science fiction film, darker and stranger than the studio's usual fare, with a visual design that impressed even its harshest critics.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Stephen King interview — early in his reign — is Issue #162’s collector hook, with Barbara Steele coverage sweetening it for the scream-queen faithful. Trek and Black Hole double coverage stamps the moment.
