BRAVE READER (Letter published unedited.)
Im writing in my full adress so that other FM fans can write to me about my letter. 146 was notoriouse. THE MOST REDICULOUS COVER I HAVE EVER SAW. A shark with an ape riding on the back of it. I didnt dare look inside because I didnt feel like keeling over in pain. Please Forry, SNAP TO IT. I know your a great man...and have shown it many a time. Please stop printing articals like This issue we will have an exscusive filmbook on Ray Harryhausens ears, and John Carradens nose.

ED: Next issue we will have a filmbook on FORRY'S BRAIN. It will be the smallest article we have ever run.

i liked FM a lot growing up, but was usually disappointed with the Godzilla coverage. There were some nice stuff, but several articles ended in strange ways- Frankenstein Conquers the World, for example.
Add to that lots and lots of articles that used pictures that never mentioned what was going on IN said pics.
Still, loads better than "we hate everything" Castle Of Frankenstein.

You know, this will sound weird, but I have never even seen an issue of CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN...not one...sometimes I think the whole magazine is a hoax. It's not, right?

I didn't get to see many issues as a kid, so I don't recall seeing ANY articles on Godzilla or his cronies, which is kind of a bummer. There is that cool issue with Godzilla and Rodan on the cover ("Japan's Monsters"), which I've never seen in person, and which supposedly is one of the more sought-after back issues...I've seen nice scans of the cover, and I would love to get one, for the cover alone...
