Tip your cap to publisher James Warren and editor Forrest J. Ackerman as you examine this 1958 Warren Famous Monsters of Filmland #1 issue. A seminal publication, FMOF gave rise to the Horror/Sci-Fi/Fantasy magazine genre with this inaugural issue. Many earnest competitors and cheesy imitators quickly followed. All owe a debt to Warren and Ackerman, and few have matched their brilliance. Standing as a big-game target for devoted monster fans, this FMOF #1 has just come back from CGC, with a very respectable grade of (6.0, Off-White to White Pages). The classic "date night" cover photo is super-sharp, and the red background remains vibrant. Label notes are "Forrest J. Ackerman text, Will Elder art, 1st Warren monster magazine, Jim Warren & Marion Moore photo cover."
