Since the news broke about Philip Kim's retirement and the venerable FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine in limbo or up for sale, it seems fitting to remember the roots of this, the most famous monster mag of all by remembering the very first issue of James Warren's and Forrest J Ackerman's brain child.
We must remember that FM was published in the days before on-demand streaming video, DVD's and videotape, and it's appeal was in large part due to the fact that fans could revisit their favorite monsters while waiting for the occasional re-run to show up in the local TV Guide.
Presented here today is the first part of issue #1, from February 1958.
