<B>Famous Monsters of Filmland #1 (Warren, 1958) CGC VF 8.0 Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> When this first Warren monster magazine hit newsstands, it not only started the monster-mag genre, it was the first taste of success for Warren (their only previous publication had been a short-lived <B>Playboy</B></I> knockoff called <B>After Hours</B></I>). The combination of monster-flick photos and Forrest Ackerman's text found favor with fans, and the series was off to a run that lasted 35 years. Also of note is a two-page Frankenstein parody by Bill Elder and Harvey Kurtzman. By the way, the masked fellow on the cover is publisher Jim Warren! Jerry Weist notes in his <B>Comic Art Price Guide</B></I> that #1 "is extremely scarce in conditions above a strict very fine." Weist's book, published in 2000, lists values of $550 in Fine and $1,500 in Near Mint condition. CGC notes, "'Warmest wishes to Tony & Adrienne, Forry Ackerman 1990' written on 2nd page in pen." CGC census 10/06: 1 in 8.0, 6 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
