Inside This Issue

A Vic Prezio cover fronts #35, but the finds are inside: “When Dracula Invaded England,” a rare account of Bela Lugosi’s 1951 UK stage tour, and “Lost Monster Movie Found,” on an early Peer Gynt featuring a young Charlton Heston. A Godzilla filmbook anchors the back half.

☠ Collector's Notes

Research value hides in this one: the account of Lugosi’s 1951 British stage tour preserves a chapter of his life biographers still lean on, and the lost-Peer Gynt find caught a teenage Charlton Heston before anyone knew the name. A quietly essential issue.
