World Famous Creatures

Dec 1, 2023

After James Warren started Famous Monsters of Filmland other companies soon jumped on the bandwagon with copycat magazines. Film stills were cheap and words even cheaper. I believe this title only lasted 4 issues with UK editions also available.

The first issue of FMOF contained a comic strip borrowed from Humbug. World Famous Creatures decided they needed a comic strip too. I’m not 100% sure but believe this four page strip was borrowed from the short-lived Frenzy, a Mad magazine imitator.

The inside back cover of Creatures advertises (early UK editions of?) Famous Monsters of Filmland.
