Picked this up from a local shop, it's the latest release. Good to see the old fellows still making front covers...

I know it's easy, anyone want to guess the film...

House of Frankenstein.
I feel better now about the botched Bela guesses...

paul waines · « **Reply #53 on:** June 23, 2012, 02:04:20 PM »

Glad your back on form Ted...

Now go back to the Bela pic, I've put a clue on...

Was given this by a fellow I know last week, not film related, but I now know how to draw those closet Girls...

And found this while up in the loft...

All the pics are screen grabs....

Fritz Willis -- a personal hero of mine.
I have a copy of this art instructional and others that the man authored.
Here's a couple of links worth looking at:

http://www.thepinupfiles.com/willis1.html#.T_jZdpGNszA

http://www.americanartarchives.com/willis%2Cf.htm

To my knowledge, he only illustrated one movie poster (below) and IMO it failed to utilize his talents as well as it could have.

Willis was a genius!

After a recent discussion with a fellow Monster fan, I was saying about the stickers and stamps that were used on Horror mags in the U.K. from the U.S. I feel it's the same as having a snipe or censors stamp on a poster, I wouldn't want it removed, I love this kind of History, we both agreed. So in the Mag section here's a few examples..

After we went Decimal, we got these stickers, which just aren't the same somehow...

Very nice Paul. Love them!

The stamps on the US mags given them an added element. Knowing they were sent and sold in the UK.

That Waines guy has a lotta nice stuff.
Those Castle of Frankenstein mags bring back great memories.

Paul -- great stuff!!

Are these 2 Spanish versions of FM, in a sense? Or related to that mag or publishing company is a way?

I know that Gogos was commissioned and created his cover images for FM. If the latin mags are unrelated, I wonder how they were able to use the same art of Bela and Karloff? Maybe as simple as paying a fee to Warren to use the same art?

paul waines · « **Reply #62 on:** March 15, 2013, 02:53:05 PM »

Yes Jeff, these are Spanish versions of Famous Monsters. The run was not as long as the original set, only around 20-30 issues, I think... I maybe wrong here, I'd have to check the print run... I do need 3-4 issues for the set of these..

Well about 35 years later I finally get a number 2 Monster mag. it's a reprint as all the UK copies were destroyed back in the 70's. I kept meaning to pick up the french version, may still, but for now I'm happy with this. Done by the original fellow, Dez Skinn.

It was my favourite U.K. Horror mag, as it un-folded to a great poster for a young fellows wall...

Anyway, while sending off for this, I notice Dez has released a few others..

And one Ari will I'm sure pick up...

the poster...

I picked up a Munro one too...

Can't believe I'm buying mags again...

erik1925 · « **Reply #69 on:** October 23, 2014, 01:07:47 PM »

Paul..

How was it that All the original copies from the 1970s were destroyed? What about the individual copies that kids had bought back then and kept? Wouldn't many of those still be around and have survived?

Cool looking mag, tho, too.

Great cover photos.

paul waines · « **Reply #70 on:** October 23, 2014, 02:01:14 PM »

They were printed overseas, and as they were heading for the U.K. a politician saw them, next thing the entire shipment was seized and ordered to be destroyed, so they never made it here, never mind got on sale...

So unless someone in the link got hold of any, there's no British copies that survived. I love one from that original run, but....

Great story there, Paul..

Luckily the original layouts were saved, so that the re-issues could be printed and sold.

How many mags were there, in total, in that series?

paul waines · « **Reply #72 on:** October 23, 2014, 04:32:53 PM »

I think it's up to 19 now..

erik1925 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 23, 2014, 05:07:48 PM »

Are all 19 from back in the 70's that have been reprinted?

Or are these new mags added to that original set from back then?

paul waines · « **Reply #74 on:** October 24, 2014, 01:47:19 AM »

There's 14 in the first set, counting number two. 3 in the second set, and the 2 new ones.

I get the feeling he maybe going to do a few others....
