Sometimes it takes letters to the editor to shine a light on a person's status; this second issue of Warren's THE SPIRIT does exactly that in it's "Dead Letters" column with letters of praise to Will Eisner from Alex Toth, Wally Wood, "Psycho" author Robert Bloch and Neal Adams who said: "His unique style is a gentle reminder of the way comics should be."

LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS NO. 2

LEGEND HORROR CLASSICS

Vol. 1 No. 2

1975 (no month)

Publisher: Legendary Publishing

Editor: Gent Shaw

Cover: Kevin O'Neil

Pages: 16

Cover price: 25p (about 25 cents)

This is the second of the LEGEND HORROR CLASSIC series of 16-page "poster magazines" that were popular in the UK for awhile in the 1970s. This issue the Frankenstein monster is covered. The comic strip drawn by Kevin O'Neil adapts the Universal 1931 version. Oddly, though, O'Neil draws Dr. Frankenstein to look more like Peter Cushing. The foldout poster is of David "Darth Vader" Prowse from Hammer's 1974s FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL. Sub-standard artwork mars this otherwise nifty effort by Mr. Shaw.
