Also got Vampirella #1 UK edition in real nice shape from fellow boardie, Batmiesta.  A great addition for me, thank you!

What makes this mag even cooler (if that’s possible) is that image works really well as a first issue cover! (thumbsu

So I finally got to the end of my FM’s and updated my spreadsheet. While the later issues are still great, photo covers become more popular and cover movies such as Star Wars, Alien, Dragonslayer and Friday the 13th. At the end of the last box I had some random Warren mags, one I had forgotten about and used to be one of my favorites!  I actually wanted to be a special effects makeup artist and tried to apprentice with one as a teen but it didn’t pan out.
This book, D ick Smith’s Monster Make-Up Hand Book was my bible for a short time in my life! :cloud9:

Sadly no. As you can imagine, I love all things monster and horror related. Halloween makeup, reading FM and Cinemagic magazines just fueled my desire to attempt it. After noting most work in the field was freelance, I realized I needed steady full time work instead.

It's like finding hens teeth to find a high grade copy of this book.😮

They are beauty's, where did you find them? 

I actually got them from a secret Santa gift a couple of years ago on the boards, from Wolverine 180. I was floored what a great gift it was. They will never leave my collection. 😊

Going through some more mags tonight and came across this Tales From The Tomb Vol. 1 #6. I can’t even remember where I got this but I’m thinking it’s trimmed. I just wondered if you fine folks felt the same, opinions appreciated!

I don't know why, but I love those covers so much. I realize they are crudely drawn, with some effort I could probably do about as good a job, but they are still awesome.

What I love is that half the time it is some monster eating another monster. This beastie is eating a bunch of vampires or ghouls or something. Makes it look less like a serial killer type scene. I showed this cover to my 9 year old and he could not believe what he was looking at.
