Of all the Horror/Sci-Fi magazines to come along over the years, Famous Monsters of Filmland is by far the most cherished. Employing a familiar style of addressing readers, longtime editor Forrest J. Ackerman was a friend to devoted fans, and along with the great features and photos, his commentary made this classic Warren Publishing title a big hit during its day. Judging from current demand, this seminal magazine remains in high favor with modern collectors, who will find (9) very satisfying examples of early issues in this Summer 2024 auction, which are all CGC-encapsulated with grades ranging from 7.0 to 9.0.



Here we have the 4/59 issue #3 graded CGC (8.5, Off-White Pages), with Jim Warren cover, extensive previews of upcoming monster films, and "You Asked For It" page begins.

Opening Bid $150.
