I recommend to everyone--especially anyone who wasn't born yet when this magazine was around--to go on Ebay or wherever and grab a nice old issue of Famous Monsters. It was the template for all science fiction and horror magazines that followed. It's not just collectible--it's great fun to read! Like, a LOT of fun.

The 1980's issues are fairly cheap, the 1970's issues are somewhat affordable, the 1960's issues tend to be expensive and the late-1950's issues are through-the-roof expensive. I really recommend that everyone at least window shop and see what these things are like, they're neato ginchy.
