Inside This Issue
Issue #50 hits a milestone and flaunts it — FM’s very first reprint, a Basil Gogos Gorgo storming back to the newsstand. The real prize for craft-heads is “The Men Behind the Monsters,” turning the lens on makeup artisans Verne Langdon and Ben Nye, while Tarantula, Devil Bat, and Hammer’s Horror of Dracula round out the bill.
Cover Spotlight
GORGO rises again for FM's landmark 50th issue — a reprint of one of the magazine's most beloved early cover paintings, a fitting way to mark the milestone.
☠ Collector's Notes
A magazine reprinting its own past is a magazine that knows it has one: the Gorgo encore makes Issue #50 the start of FM’s reprint era — a marker collectors use when mapping original-versus-revisited material across the back half of the run.
