Inside This Issue
The bounty hunters assemble on Issue #165’s cover, and inside Darth Vader’s own David Prowse returns for another interview. The keeper for monster historians: “The Creeper — the Rondo Hatton Story,” the tragic tale of the B-movie heavy whose face became horror legend. Early previews of An American Werewolf in London and Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse point at the year ahead.
Cover Spotlight
A color still of the alien bounty hunters assembled in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK — Bossk, Zuckuss, Dengar, and Boba Fett among them, a lineup of menace that became instantly iconic.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Rondo Hatton story is foundational monster-fandom reading — the man the Rondo Awards are named for — and that gives Issue #165 standing beyond its Empire-era cover. Early American Werewolf coverage is a bonus.
