Osborne, Reggie, Universal Studios, Wendaye Wahrman, Manuel Weltman, Dick Smith, Kurt Ulrich Description Monster World launches with a full-blown love letter to classic horror and sci-fi fandom, delivering the same fan-first spirit that made Famous Monsters of Filmland legendary. This debut issue is packed with letters from readers, previews of monster movies yet to come, and deep dives into iconic creatures and stars that shaped the golden age of fright films. It’s a snapshot of monster culture when rubber masks ruled mail-order ads and imagination did the heavy lifting. Inside, you’ll find playful debates, collector bait, and cinematic lore—everything from Frankenstein showdowns to flashback tributes of screen legends like Lionel Atwill. There’s also a full comic-strip treatment of The Mummy that turns ancient curses into dynamic pulp storytelling. This issue doesn’t just report on monster fandom—it fuels it, fangs first. If you grew up haunting newsstands or flipping pages by flashlight under the covers, this one hits like a familiar midnight knock. Monster World #1 is the spark that lit another torch in the monster-kid parade, and it still burns with that old-school glow.
