This is an auction for a 35-piece lot of Monster Times issues. Billing itself as 'The World's First Newspaper of Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy,” The Monster Times was a horror film fan fanzine created in 1972, until 1976. Published by The Monster Times Publishing Co, it was intended as a competitor to Famous Monsters of Filmland. Although the main editorial focus of the magazine was horror media, it also featured articles and reviews of modern and classic science fiction/fantasy films and television series, as well as comic books. Each issue featured a fold-out centerfold poster, usually based on that particular issue's feature story. The Monster Times was edited at various times in its formative years by Chuck R. McNaughton, Allen Asherman, Joe Brancatelli and Tom Rogers. Joe Kane (who later assumed the nom de plume The Phantom of the Movies for newspaper columns and books) took over as editor with Issue # 11 (June 14, 1972), and remained in that capacity until the periodical's demise. The publishers were art directors Larry Brill and Les Waldstein, who were the original designers for the pornographic weekly tabloid Screw, and also for Famous Monsters of Filmland and other Jim Warren publications in the late 1960s. Contributing writers and photographers included Michael Uslan (Producer of the Batman films), Joe Kane, Doug Murray, Allan Asherman, Steve Vertlieb, Phil Seuling, Buddy Weiss, Frank Verzyl, Dean Latimer, Edward Summer, Joe Brancatelli, Manny Maris, Mark Rainey, Tom Murdock, and Jason Thomas (aka Tom Rogers). Contributing artists included Gray Morrow, Jeff Jones, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson and Larry Vincent (aka: Sinister Seymour). Most issues were tabloid-sized (some included in this auction were printed in standard magazine size), folded and printed on newsprint. We are a veteran owned company.
