The Return of Gogos!
Absent since no. 24, Basil Gogos returned to do a special cover for the Boris Karloff tribute issue (no. 56) and stayed on as a regular contributor, turning out many classic covers. Ron Cobb would turn in his final cover.
In Sep. 1969, Warren sent a memo to all employees announcing that FM's numbering would jump from no. 69 to no. 80, so that FM would reach it's 100th issue that much sooner.
Between 1962 and 1971, Warren published a series of 10 FM "yearbooks". After the initial volume, each succeeding yearbook would feature next years date on the cover.

ReplyDeletesends chills down my spine,thanks for the memories <3 :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't realize Luis Dominguez was the one who did the poster for "TALES FROM THE CRYPT" (one of Amicus' best films).
ReplyDeleteI actually started buying with FM #56-- what a place to come in. Over the next 5 years, I got back-issues going back to #31, plus older stuff via the FEARBOOKS. Sadly, during that time, I saw the intelligence level of the mag steadly go DOWN, as they seemed to aim at an increasingly younger audience. Had they stayed the same, I cold have dealt with it (as I got older), but around 1973 it just got TOO juvenile for my tastes, and before I knoew it, I'd stopped buying and started buying comic-books instead (!!!).
Hi Henry!
DeleteIf you look at the poster, again, you'll see that it's a different painting.
Pick up a copy of the new Famous Monsters of Filmland and see if you like it.
