Famous Monsters of Filmland — Issue #102 — October 1973 The cover was painted by Basil Gogos. Famous Monsters of Filmland Issue #102 arrives in October 1973 like a velvet-lined coffin opening at midnight. Fresh off the landmark 100th issue, Warren Publishing doubles down on what the magazine does best—reverence, history, and monster-kid passion—led by an extraordinary 20-page tribute to the great Lon Chaney Sr. This isn’t a skim; it’s a full-blooded celebration of the man who turned pain, makeup, and performance into cinematic immortality. Beyond Chaney, the issue brims with legacy. Classic Universal favorites Colin Clive and Dwight Frye return in The Diabolic Duo, while makeup maestro Verne Langdon lifts the curtain on the secrets behind iconic faces in Master of the Masks.
