Inside This Issue

“A Present From the Past” — James Warren’s words open the 1964 yearbook, and the package delivers: both Chaney profiles (“Mister Monster” and “Son of Mister Monster”), the House of Usher feature from Issue #9, The Time Machine from Issue #6, and “Horrib-Lee Yours,” the early Christopher Lee piece. Vincent Price and Claude Rains share the cover, borrowed from Issues #9 and #10.

Cover Spotlight

Cover details drawn from FM issues #9 (Vincent Price) and #10 (Claude Rains) — two of the early run's finest cover paintings, repurposed for this special yearbook edition.

☠ Collector's Notes

The 1964 annual is a Chaney-family double-bill in one cover — both “Mister Monster” profiles reprinted together — which gives it a clean hook for Chaney collectors. Early annuals are a collecting lane of their own.
