In our next precedent-breaking issue, we break one of our own precedents, and present no special theme … just lots of special stuff. It’s called our Grab-Bag Issue for that reason.
First, we’ve got our special in-depth story/fact treatment of THE BRIDE FRANKENSTEIN, complete with info and in-fotos which few people ever saw before or even heard of. In fact, we’re even innovating a NEW form of picture captioning with this article… the captions will be actual dialogue from the original script which was spoken as the photos were taken. This way, THE MONSTER TIMES can make the film all that much more immediate. Drop us a card and let us know how that goes over with you.
Joe Kame of Mushroom Monsters is unleashing upon us ANOTHER SERIES — and film survey, at that!-called EDGAR ALLEN POE MEETS ROGER CORMAN! It’s to go into detail about ALL the Edgar Allen Poe story-based films … and the blood-curdling things which film producer Roger Corman did to Poe’s writings when Poe wasn’t around to defend himself. Naturally, we have photographic evidence of all this.
And to go nicely with Joe’s article, we’ve got a special cinematic comic strip by leading sf & fantasy paperback painter-illustrator, Jef Jones. Jeff wrote and illustrated this comic about a man who, in more than one way, is crazy over the writings of E.A. Poe.
But then, THE MONSTER TIMES is a newspaper. A newspaper should have news, and so we have a bit of reporter-sleuthing done by Jim Wnoroski (pronounced Wo-nor-ski), who’s dug up some interesting facts about the greatest DRACULA film of all time (made in Europe and Starring Chris Lee!) – and why it’s not come into this country – read DRACULA GOES TO COURT
We’ll also have another spiffy MONSTER TIMES PHOTO-COMIX page, for you who like photo-comix!
And we’ve got product tests and book and record reviews. And more. Believe US, if you trust no one else! – this is an issue you don’t want to miss … and it’s certainly worth subscribing to, to make sure you’ll get it!
