Old issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine are a treasure trove of odd monster art and old black and white horror movie stills. Its creator noted "Most of our readers are between nine and twelve. They're too old for cowboys and Indians and too young for girls. They need something to capture their imagination. After us, there's nothing but Playboy."
Famous Monsters was revived in the 1990s by a new publisher, but is currently in limbo due to a legal dispute with original publisher Forrest Ackerman. Hopefully they get it sorted out, kids need monsters! Click on the cover thumbnails to see an enlargement.
