Hey, don't blame me. It's Halloween.

Kelly Freas was to MAD what Basil Gogos was to Famous Monsters. Those magazine covers  jumped right off the racks at you back then. Made it difficult to pay attention to any of the others displayed along side them. True masters of their craft. Thanks Hep for yet another virtual feast for the eyes. I have such fond memories of these old mags & poring thru my older brother's stacks of MAD.

Ditto on Freas. He was a huge influence on me at an early age. Some of his sci-fi work was a bit corny, but the Mad covers (and a few interiors) were amazing...

Yes, Freas was one of the best.  I have to mention one of my all time favorites: Virgil Finlay.   His line drawing was the tops.  He and Chesley Bonestell (SF) were the best.

quite an array of great reading material

Just got this the other day. I've been looking for it for a long time and I'm thrilled to be able to add it to my collection.
BTW, this is a horrible scan with the magazine still in the plastic bag on my broken scanner. I'll use my professional scanner in the coming weeks. But I'm so happy about this, I just needed to share it now.

Nice!

Wow! I take it that the print run of that magazine was not much more than 400 copies! Warren rushed that ashcan edition to press with five reprinted stories from FMM in order to secure the copyright to the name in the States. James Warren had heard a rumour that the U.K. magazine of the same name was planning to expand its distribution network to the States and wanted to forestall the possibility! Forest Ackerman somehow ended up with the bulk of the copies and he once again profited over the next few decades from his possession of an instant collector's item.

  Man, that's one Warren I didn't even know existed.
