Issue #69 belongs to the Man of a Thousand Faces: Basil Gogos captures Lon Chaney Sr. as the top-hatted ghoul of the lost London After Midnight, and “Mister Monster, the Legendary Lon” celebrates his genius inside. A look at the Tales of Frankenstein TV pilot rounds out a reverent issue for silent-horror devotees.
Lon Chaney's phantom from LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT — a painting of the most famous image from the most desperately sought lost film in all of horror cinema.
The grail-keeper issue: with London After Midnight already decades lost, pages like these — and Gogos’s painted resurrection of the top-hatted ghoul — are a big part of why the film stayed legend instead of fading entirely. Lost-film devotees prize Issue #69.
