Famous Monsters of Filmland #24

Aug-63 Uncredited
Inside This Issue

The draw in #24 is “The Amazing Ackermonster,” a deep tour of the Ackermansion and Forrest J Ackerman’s legendary collection — catnip for any FM faithful — plus a tease for the King Kong tribute landing in the very next issue. A fan favorite for the Ackerman-collection lore alone.

An uncredited painting of Henry Hull as the WEREWOLF OF LONDON — the original cinematic werewolf, still snarling, still underappreciated, and considerably more elegant than the monsters that followed.

☠ Collector's Notes

Before collecting monster memorabilia was a hobby with a name, this is what it looked like: the Ackermansion tour in Issue #24 is the original collection tour, a snapshot of artifacts that would scatter to auctions decades later. One for the hobby’s own historians.
