Inside This Issue
#32 hands the cover to a reader — Monster Model Contest winner Lance Herpeck — and inside delivers a full comic recreation of Hammer’s Horror of Dracula, the kind of feature collectors prize. “Monster Land U.S.A.” catches the cresting Munsters mania, with a Hideous Sun Demon filmbook rounding it out.
Cover Spotlight
Monster Model Contest winner Lance Herpeck's painstaking diorama recreating a scene from KING KONG — a cover celebrating the monster kids who built their own little worlds.

The clubhouse promise, kept: a reader’s own Kong diorama on the cover of a national magazine. Issue #32 is the run’s clearest proof that FM belonged to its fans — and a charming outlier for anyone collecting the covers as a set.
