FIRSTY FOR MORE MONSTERS? HOWSABOUT SECONDS?

Another first, or in this case second issue of legendary status, was and is issue 2 of the British poster magazine Monster Mag.

I adored Monster Mag and had all of the posters on my bedroom wall. I still have some of the mags in my boxes in the attic!

But, like most MM fans, I never had issue 2. Alas, deemed too strong for young British sensibilities, Her Majesty's Customs destroyed the lot when they arrived from the printers overseas.

And so issue 2 of Monster Mag became like the proverbial rocking horse doo doo.

That is until erstwhile publishers Dez Skinn and Roger Cook regrouped and re-published issue 2!

Here's the admittedly rather grim cover: 

You can read all about another fan's sentimental journey to acquire Issue 2 and how he went on to interview Mr. Skinn https://www.classic-monsters.com/monster-mag-relaunches-reprint-issue-2-worlds-rarest-film-magazine/.

You can also read about all of Dez Skinn's Monster Mags and how to get hold of these gruesome tomes on his own website http://dezskinn.com/quality-shop-1/#MM2

Did you or do you have any Monster Mags readers?
