Inside This Issue

#29 is the Peter Lorre tribute issue, leading with “In Remembrance,” an obituary for one of horror’s most inimitable faces. Around it: a Flesh Eaters filmbook, a Mole People filmbook, and the curio of a Jerry Lewis monster comic reprint. A significant issue for the Lorre collector.

☠ Collector's Notes

The Lorre tribute gives Issue #29 its weight, but the oddity collectors grin at is the Jerry Lewis monster-comic reprint — one of those only-in-FM artifacts that resists explanation. Tribute gravity and clubhouse weirdness in one book.
