A little over a month ago, Famous Monsters of Filmland announced that they were rising from the ashes once more after closing the book back in 1983–191 issues deep. This was truly a sad day for fans, many who had followed the magazine since its inception in 1958 with Warren Publishing. Editor Forrest J.
