The question would be: who else could possibly give as intelligent and entertaining a tour of the collection as Forry himself?

The question would be: who else could possibly give as intelligent and entertaining a tour of the collection as Forry himself? He was definitly one of a kind. I read Famous Monsters from 1970 until about 1978. I had every issue from that span. Forry was cool...a grown up who liked the same stuff I did. He was forever young. |
