I'm been trying to find this issue of FM for years! # 5 from 1959! I got it! $15 bucks!

That means I'll have EVERY issue of Famous Monsters that features Bela Lugosi on the cover! (there's 8)
The back cover is missing, but I don't care! I'm not one of those "gotta be mint" collectors.

Many congratulations my friend. I know you love your comics and as someone who collects many things I know the joy of finding something you've sought out for a long time.

Thanks!

Just for the heck of it- here are all the FM Belas!

Now I have them all in my grubby claws!

I like the cover on the white one, third down on the left.

My favorite cover would have to be the 1970 Fearbook with Bela giving the side stare.

(Is this a private thread, or one for the expressing of any joyous event?)

Hey- it's for anyone for anything that makes you happy!

Today my oldest daughter sent me an email in which, no less than eleven times, she said she loved me.

My friend and I started a graphic novel today!

Got some early Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos and Sgt. Rock comics today, and this one-from 1967-

RCMerchant · March 09, 2024, 06:16:55 PM

Just got this book the other day-

Its the history of Myron Fass' Eerie Publications gory comic magazines, and goes into the history of horror comics as well. Great, fascinating reading!
