ALOHA! FROM BEN CHAPMAN
Before his passing in 2008, actor Ben Chapman could be seen appearing at just about every monster and sci-fi convention imaginable. Mr. Chapman of course is best known for his role as the "above ground" fishman in Universal's 1954 thriller, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. In these these later years of his life he embraced the notoriety, and in return made himself accessible to fans.
Of course, he still had to make a living, and he did so in part by selling signed copies of photos, posters and lobby cards starring his famous character from his home in Hawaii. I had the fortune of obtaining a few things from him, and today I'm sharing a couple of them.
The image at the top of this post is Ben Chapman's business card. Following is a mail order price list showing his items for sale and a lobby card signed for yours truly.
