The second issue of QMM leads off with a 12-page article by Beverly Robertson, who discusses the films of Roger Corman. This is followed by another 12-pager on the life and movies of Lon Chaney, Jr. by Lloyd Mayer. The article concludes with a filmography. Highlights of the issue are interviews with THE EXORCIST author William Peter Blatty, and horror film historian, William K. Everson. There is also a long review of ERB's film adaptation, THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT. The outro article is on the TV series SPACE: 1999.

It is evident by the contents that QMM was intended as a more serious monster 'zine. There is substance to the content and the articles had a little more to them than others at the time. Worth a look!
