Inside This Issue
The first Famous Monsters yearbook, and the magazine’s first look back: the 1962 annual collects “the best from the first 6 out-of-print issues” in a 100-page package — “Welcome, Monster Lovers” and “The Frankenstein Story” from Issue #1, “Kongfidentially Yours” from Issue #6, the Monsterama Quiz, and the Creature’s revenge from Issue #5 — with a James Warren message welcoming the second-chance readers.
Cover Spotlight
Reproductions of four early FM covers — issues #3, #6, #5, and #1 — assembled for this special 100-page selection of out-of-print issues.
☠ Collector's Notes
The 1962 yearbook existed because the early issues had already vanished from newsstands — the first proof FM’s back catalog had demand. Annuals like this were many monster kids’ only access to Issue #1’s legendary contents, and collectors treat the first one as the keeper of the series.
