Famous Monsters of Filmland — Issue

Famous Monsters of Filmland — Issue #143 — May 1978 Cover Image — The Inferbyce from the motion picture The Alien Factor (1978) STAFF James Warren — Founder & Publisher Forrest J Ackerman — Editor-in-Chief W. R. Mohalley — Managing Editor Kim McQuaite — Production Walt Daugherty — Special Photography Michael Schneider — Circulation Director Donato Velez — Traffic Department Jacinto Soto — Traffic Department DESCRIPTION May of 1978 was when the old monsters and the new mutants collided, and Famous Monsters of Filmland was right in the blast radius. Issue #143 is one of the most fascinating covers of the Warren era because it doesn’t come from Universal or a painted fantasy — it comes from a brand-new independent creature feature: The Alien Factor. The eerie blue face staring out from the hot-pink cover is The Inferbyce, a savage, man-sized insect alien from Don Dohler’s cult sci-fi-horror shocker. Warren Publishing took a black-and-white production still and supercharged it with electric color, turning a low-budget Maryland movie monster into a full-blown Famous Monsters icon. Inside, classic horror and modern science fiction collide. You get Boris Karloff’s The Mummy examined in loving detail, while Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind represents the new era of cinematic wonder. Add in Italian space opera (Starcrash), revenge-driven madmen, Twilight Zone house tours, and fan-favorite Fang Mail, and you’ve got a perfect snapshot of what it meant to be a monster kid in 1978. Issue #143 isn’t just a magazine — it’s a crossroads where the past shook hands with the future, and a homemade alien from The Alien Factor earned a place in Famous Monsters history.
