Famous Monsters of Filmland #184

Jun-82 Collage
Inside This Issue

Myth hits the multiplex in Issue #184: Dragonslayer earns “an appreciation” and Conan storms in beside it, with “B.C. Before Conan” tracing the famous barbarians of filmland. Paul Schrader’s Cat People remake pads in, “Watch Out for 3-D!” braces readers for the gimmick’s return, and “Godzilla, the Jolly Japanese Jiant” checks in on the King.

☠ Collector's Notes

Sword-and-sorcery’s big year runs through Issue #184 — Dragonslayer appreciated, Conan ascendant — and the “Before Conan” barbarian retrospective is the collector’s keeper. The 3-D warning piece reads charmingly prophetic now.
