Inside This Issue
A Basil Gogos cover fronts #18, which stacks The Blob, Rodan, and a parade of Bert I. Gordon giants, with a Jack Davis Frankenstein pin-up waiting on the back cover. A dense monster-movie issue from the early-’60s peak.
Cover Spotlight
This painting depicts what was long believed to be Dwight Frye — but has since been confirmed as Bernard Jukes, the stage Renfield who had these photos taken in an unsuccessful bid to land the film role. A genuine piece of horror history hiding in plain sight for decades.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Jack Davis Frankenstein pin-up makes Issue #18 a two-sided book — on pin-up issues, back-cover condition matters as much as the front. A young Joe Dante haunts the letters section, decades before Gremlins.
