Description: 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-CA X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 MONSTERS…SHRIEK! SCREAM! SHOCK! WORLD FAMOUS CREATURES #1 GASP! AT THE WORLD’S MOST FRIGHTENING HORRORS! WORLD FAMOUS CREATURES (Oct. 1958 – June 1959) Magsyn Publications / Editor: M. Leon Howard / 68 B&W pages (inc. covers). If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, then Famous Monsters of Filmland should have been most flattered by WFC, which was a direct copy of the FM look and editorial style. One of the most sought after of the early monster mag titles by collectors, WFC sported some very nice cover art, rivaling (and perhaps bettering) anything FM had to offer, at that time. The back covers of WFC #1 and #2 featured a Halloween mask that you could cut out and wear. Not many of these back covers survived, as this was years before the “preserve and collect” comic & monster magazine boom started in the early 1960s. Sadly WFC lasted only four issues. When it comes to the lesser known and scarcer monster magazines, Collectors have found them to be prohibitively expensive and extremely hard to find in collectible shape. Quite often our association with them is only with their cover image as obtaining a “hands-on” copy has thwarted many life-long Collectors. Please enjoy the scans of some of the internal pages as they perhaps are giving you your first glimpse into the interior of this issue. Here is a golden opportunity to obtain this magazine perhaps at a fraction of the price one in better shape would undoubtedly command. Contents: Frankenstein & His Friends, Blood of The Vampire, Monster of The Month, Killer-Diller Caterpillar, Holey-Moley Monster, Melon Headed Monster, The Frankenstein Fable (comic strip), Make Yourself A Monster, It’s Here From Hell, Love That Monster, Hairy-Scarey Creatures, The Crab Creature, Go Go Go Godzilla, Creature Photoquiz, Neptune Nightmare, Monsters On The Moon, Creatures: On Land, In The Air, Under The Sea. Condition: chunk of paper-loss at bottom of spine, apprx. 3/8" cover split at bottom of spine, wear/tearring around tarnished staples (covers remain attached), apprx. 1" cover split at top of spine, creasing/wear running parallel to spine on front cover, "7/8" scribbled near top left corner of front cover, creasing/wear along bottom edge of front cover, apprx. 1/2" vertical tear along bottom edge of front cover with piece of tape applied on inside of front cover to retard further growth (as shown on second scan), tip of bottom right corner of front cover missing, age browning/ink grime transfer over surface of predominantly white back cover, internally complete with all pages with nothing clipped out or missing. All magazines are packaged with Collectors in mind. They will be individually bagged, and sandwiched between two pieces of over-sized cardboard. This not only helps to prevent magazine edge damage during the shipping phase, but it also helps to prevent folding and rough handling of the magazine(s). This secured package is then put into a cushioned bubble mailer, helping to ensure you will receive your item in the same condition that it leaves my crypt in! A quote for postage cost for combined shipping for multiple purchases is always available. Thanks very much for your interest in my items!
