FANTASTIC FILMS #2

THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION IN THE CINEMA

Collecting monster or Sci-Fi magazines was always more exciting when something other than a Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine was available! The thrill of the hunt was coming across a  magazine with an alluring cover that would quickly take care of your measly allowance for the month! Such is the case with this magazine! 

Fantastic Films began regular publication in 1978 under the banner of Blake Publishing Corp. The publication continued for 7 years, covering all of the major science fiction and fantasy films of the day. The final issue, number 46, was published in 1985. It was intended as an alternative to competitors such as Cinefantastique and Starlog. The magazine set itself apart by featuring extensive interviews with actors and behind-the-scenes personnel. The magazine never featured editorials or reviews but did have a rather lengthy Reaction section that allowed readers to send in their letters. In addition, the magazine featured a Fantastic Films Archive Series, a retrospective section that highlighted classic sci-fi films of the past.

Articles/features in this issue include: Mothership Architecture, The Alien Language of Close Encounters of the Third Kind Translated, Kirk Alyn Interviewed, Superman Movies and more! The advertised "Free Poster of Cover Art" is still bound inside the magazine...a rarity for this issue!

Condition: wear/cross stress creasing along spine, complete inside with no missing pages or clipped coupons.

All magazines are packaged with Collectors in mind. They will be individually bagged, and sandwiched between two pieces of over-sized cardboard. This not only helps to prevent magazine edge damage during the shipping phase, but it also helps to prevent folding and rough handling of the magazine(s). This secured package is then put into a cushioned bubble mailer, helping to ensure you will receive your item in the same condition that it leaves my crypt in! A quote for postage cost for combined shipping for multiple purchases is always available. Thanks very much for your interest in my items!
