Inside This Issue
Christopher Lee’s Hammer creature — his Curse of Frankenstein monster — fronts the 1971 yearbook, and Forry opens it with “13 Years of Chills & Thrills.” The reprints dig deep: “The Battle of the Frankensteins” from Monster World #1, The Skull from Issue #37, the silent Lost World remembered through Bull Montana, and a monster quiz by John and Michael Brunas — future Universal-horror historians, then FM readers.
Cover Spotlight
Christopher Lee as Hammer's original Frankenstein creature — the role that launched the British studio's horror dynasty, featured on the cover of this 1971 yearbook edition.
☠ Collector's Notes
The 1971 annual’s Monster World reprint and the Brunas brothers’ quiz make it a connective-tissue piece — Warren’s sibling magazine and FM’s future historians in one annual. Lee’s Hammer creature is an uncommon cover subject, which collectors notice.
