Issue #19 was a great issue with a great cover. Actually, FM's first 100 page issue was #13 with a cover date of August 1961. The late Forry Ackerman had gone on record stating how much he despised the cover of #13.
Thanks for your correction and astute observation! I think it would be hard to find anyone who would disagree with Forry's dislike for the cover of issue #13.

After jumping off with a glimpse of new movies to come (it's interesting to note that all these now-familiar films were just coming out at the time!), we get a look at the latest Roger Corman AIP Poe Pic, TALES OF TERROR, followed by a bio on "The Lord High Minister of All That is Sinister", Peter Lorre. Plus, over 20 pages of ads for monster goodies! Lots of other great stuff in this issue!
