We didn't get our complete order on these variant covers, so I'm afraid we're already out of 2 of the 3 titles as I write this. We'll have more very shortly, so you can safely backorder any or just wait until they come up as in stock when you click on them. We do have plenty of the calendars!!

Also available is the same book with a Bride of Frankenstein cover; regular, unlimited edition [MONBGH. $100]. Here's more of Gogos, in The Famous Monsters Chronicles, Soft Blondes in the Claws of Torture Hell (yes, Gogos did Men's Magazine art, too!), and The Art of Pulp Horror.

In case the name Joe Smith didn't bring any recognition, his movie poster work you WILL recognize. Lots of major, major films, both genre work and big budget blockbusters. He reminds me a lot of Gogos, so check him out:
