Inside This Issue

Hammer’s Reptile Woman — by way of Monster World #10’s cover art — fronts the final FM yearbook, 1972’s sign-off for the annual series. Issue #19 again proves the well: “The Lorre Story,” “The Pre-historic Story,” and Tales of Terror return, joined by “Dante’s Inferno” from Issue #18 and Glenn Strange’s “Lone Stranger” profile from Issue #17.

☠ Collector's Notes

Series-closer status gives the 1972 yearbook its niche — the last of FM’s annuals — and its Monster World cover recycling is a nice footnote for collectors who track Warren’s art across titles. Annual completists need it to close the set.
