BIG MONSTER MAG NEWS!


Good news for monster magazine collectors -- Fantaco Enterprises will be releasing the 4-issue series of the vintage title, WORLD FAMOUS CREATURES, in both hardback and softcover editions. While not necessarily rare, they are commonly found on eBay in less than desirable condition starting at around 50 dollars and up. That makes this omnibus a deal as you can get all four issues -- presumably scanned in good condition -- for the price of one beat up or incomplete copy.

The first of numerous competitors attempting to emulate the success of Warren's FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, WFC published only four issues from 1958-1959 before it succumbed to failing revenue and poor distribution. Not many of us has had the opportunity to own or look through one of the issues, much less all four of them.

The book is slated to be published in May of this year. Pre-orders are being taken HERE.

  2. I'll probably splurge and get the hardback edition.
