This issue leans hard into fantasy with Dragonslayer front and center, backed by exclusive dragon photos that still breathe fire decades later. It’s the kind of coverage that made monster kids circle pages, dog-ear corners, and argue with friends about which creature would win in a back-alley brawl. The issue also pays tribute to Terence Fisher, one of the great architects of cinematic chills, whose work helped shape Hammer’s gothic legacy. Add in Rodan roaring back into the spotlight, Excalibur swinging myth into the mainstream, and Mindwarp dragging sci-fi into darker waters, and you’ve got a buffet of beasts from land, sky, and deep space. If you grew up with these magazines under your pillow, this is a reunion tour. If you’re new to the party, welcome—pull up a chair, mind the dragon breath, and enjoy a guided stroll through a golden age when paint, latex, smoke, and imagination did the heavy lifting.
