Inside This Issue
Vic Prezio’s Gill-Man rises for Issue #73, deep in the dual-numbered Famous Monsters/Monster World era. The headliner is “The Horror in the Lighthouse,” the Edgar Allan Poe fragment finished by Robert Bloch, backed by a Frankenstein 1970 filmbook, “Faces That Launched 1000 Shrieks,” and “Wild Is the Word for the Munster Koach.” “Dear Mr. Lee” even lets readers reach Christopher Lee himself.
Cover Spotlight
The CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON glides across this cover in paint — the Gill-Man, last of the classic Universal monsters and arguably the most purely beautiful of them all.
☠ Collector's Notes
The reprint era working as intended: the Poe/Bloch “Lighthouse” resurfaces here for readers who missed Issue #53 — useful context when cataloging which FM treasures appear where. Prezio’s Gill-Man does the cover honors.
