Inside This Issue
The end of an era: Issue #191 closes the Warren run, and Forry Ackerman says his goodbye as editor-in-chief after a quarter century of puns, monsters, and love. Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s The Dark Crystal takes the cover in paint, the Time Machine filmbook concludes, a brand-new review column debuts — first and last — and “Fantastic TV in 1983” looks toward a future the magazine wouldn’t see. Farewell, Famous Monsters — until the revival.
Cover Spotlight
An uncredited painting of the creatures from THE DARK CRYSTAL — Jim Henson and Frank Oz's 1982 fantasy epic, its Skeksis and Mystics rendered in paint for what would be FM's final Warren-era issue.
☠ Collector's Notes
The final Warren issue. Forry’s farewell makes Issue #191 one of the most significant collectibles of the entire run — the last bow of the voice that invented monster fandom — and run-completists treat it as essential. A heavy, historic close.
