Issue #188’s cover collects three of the magazine’s own classic paintings — FM flipping through its own scrapbook. Inside is pure Universal homecoming: House of Frankenstein, The Mummy’s Ghost, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the 1925 Phantom of the Opera, with the John Carradine retrospective rolling on.
Three iconic FM cover paintings gathered together — the Chaney Wolf Man and Lugosi Dracula by Basil Gogos, and the Karloff Frankenstein Monster by Sanjulian — a retrospective in paint.
A cover made of FM covers gives Issue #188 a self-referential charm collectors love — Gogos and Sanjulian honored by the very magazine they defined — and the all-Universal reprint contents make it a natural classics sampler.
