Hey fellow monster ranks, does anyone know if the beast illustrated on this copy of FM's Fearbook was actually in a film, or is it simply an original art design for the magazine?  It's lovely, but I am unfamiliar with the story behind the creature, and would like to know if he's/they are a movie star. Thanks for any help.

It's a concept drawing for the 2-headed monster in "Jack the Giant Killer" (1962).

Somebody did a model kit based on the drawing.

Mike Parks from Mad Lab Models came out with the FM cover version of the 2 headed monster.  Do a google search for photos of it.  I always wanted one but never had the extra spending cash for it.  Sadly Mike died a few years back.

Is it the one I posted a photo of, or a different one?

Shawn Nagel has recently done a new sculpt of this artwork and it will be available at Wonderfest this year. As you can imagine, it is a massive piece and will be selling for, I believe $250 (my best guess). Try looking up Shawn on Facebook for more information.
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.
