Inside This Issue
Tor Johnson’s hulking menace anchors Issue #74, a Gray Morrow cover drawn from Ed Wood’s Bride of the Monster. The issue salutes “The Hammer of Horror” studio, mourns Dracula’s Helen Chandler with an obituary, and comes “Face to Face with the Forgotten Frankenstein.” Low-budget and lavish horror, shoulder to shoulder.
Cover Spotlight
Tor Johnson in paint — the hulking Swedish wrestler turned horror icon, rendered with the shambling menace that made him an unforgettable face of 1950s sci-fi horror.
☠ Collector's Notes
Ed Wood’s Bride of the Monster on a national cover, decades before the world decided Wood was a cult treasure — Issue #74 was early to the so-bad-it’s-beautiful canon. The Helen Chandler farewell adds a somber Universal grace note.
