ABOUT THIS ISSUE’S CENTERFOLD POSTER
THE MONSTER TIMES is always scouring about for new talent, as well as diligently striving to acquire the best of the established horror and sci-fi art superstars. This issue’s awf-colored poster of the ever-popular Gill, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, was rendered by Tim Johnson, who’s just turning 18 this April.
A MONSTER TIMES discovery, Tim is a senior student at the New York High School of Art & Design, A far-better than average new comic art talent, Tim intends to gainful employment in the fiercely competitively world of comic books, upon his graduation in June. We wish him luck, and trust that his poster for this issue will be a valuable portfolio piece when he goes looking for work in comix.
Tim has been into Fandom for many years, collecting stills, comix, and fanzines (fan-produced magazines), and has put out some fanzines of his own, as well as contributing to many of the better ones. He prefers comic books and illustrations to the stuff that’s called Fine Art these days, and admires the work of such great cartoonists and illustrators as Jack Davis, Wally Wood, and Frank Frazetta, hoping someday to achieve comparable greatness.
THE MONSTER TIMES thinks that Tim Johnson is well on his way!
