 Little Shop Of Horrors The Journal of Classic British Horror Films Issue #52, Celebrating 53 Years With Gorgo In 1961, mama Gorgo (Orga) tore London apart while going to save Gorgo Junior. For film goers of that period, it was a gorgeous, colorful, knockout. For M-G-M, and particularly the King brothers, (or as they were originally known – the Kozinsky brothers) Maury, Frank and Hymie, it was a successful trip into the ‘man-in-a-suit-asaurus’ realm that Toho had instigated with their original Godzilla. In our massive (270 full size pages/over 625 rare high quality black & white and color images) study of the film, you’ll learn all the inside info on how it came to be. Not just from the previous Eugene Lourie articles with Paul Mandell, or Lourie’s auto-bio, but lots of never seen or read production information and comments/stories from crew members. AND, you’ll have the fascinating, full story of the King/Kozinsky Bros., from their early ‘slightly’ gangster- like businesses, to very successful independent movie producers (Dillinger. Gun Crazy. The Brave One (Academy Award © winner). In the movie Trumbo, John Goodman plays Frank King to perfection. Stephen R. Bissette on the Gorgo (Konga & Reptilicus) Charlton comic books. Lee Kaplan writes about the models and toys based on Gorgo.

In Shops: Apr 30, 2025 SRP: $3.99  ESCAPE THE BELLY OF THE BEAST IN “BEHEMOTH” A new, original comic series for fans of Godzilla, Alien, and Speed Dark Horse Comics presents a new comic series of monstrous proportions in Behemoth, led by two monster-movie experts bringing their magic of cinematic monsters to comics for the first time. Behemoth is co-written by Grant Sputore (I Am Mother), upcoming director of the next installment in Legendary's Monsterverse film series, and film writer Ryan Engle (Beast, Rampage), with art and colors by Jay Martin (Lost Boy), and letters by Frank Cvetkovic (The Writer). When a giant monster attacks a city and swallows a bus full of civilians, one woman must fight for her life. Trapped inside the enormous beast, Sara and her fellow bus passengers soon find out that they’re not alone. But what dangers lie within the belly of this beast? And who—or what—will they have to contend with in order to survive? Here's what the creators of Behemoth have to say: "Being a life-long Kaiju fan, I quite frequently find myself imagining giant monsters rampaging through whatever city I happen to be in. Enjoying one such vision, back in 2022, I found myself struck by a thought: 'how have we had 70 years of giant monster movies, but no one has ever told the story of the poor souls trapped inside a subway car as it’s devoured by a Kaiju?' From that moment, I've been on a long journey to bring this David vs Goliath story to life, with the help of Ryan and Jay’s boundless genius. Most recently, I’ve been invited to play in Legendary's Monsterverse, which is clearly a dream come true for a kaiju fan like me – but for those interested, my first foray into the world of Kaiju storytelling can be found within the wild pages of BEHEMOTH."—Grant Sputore "I’ve spent my entire career in film crafting claustrophobic action-thrillers, from NON-STOP to BEAST. BEHEMOTH takes this sub-genre to a new level in a way we’ve never seen before."—Ryan Engle "Grant and Ryan’s concept for turning a Kaiju story literally inside-out is mind-blowing. As soon as I heard it, I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of."—Jay Martin Behemoth #1 (of 4) will arrive in comic shops on January 15, 2024, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99. Be sure to follow Dark Horse Comics on social media and check our website, www.darkhorse.com, for more news, announcements, and updates! Praise for Sputore and Engle: "I Am Mother is undoubtedly a strong calling card with plenty on its mind."—Screen Rant "Beast is a fast-paced survival film that keeps you on the edge for the vast majority of its runtime."—Monkeys Fighting Robots BEHEMOTH #1 (W) Grant Sputore, Ryan Engle (A/CA) Jay Martin When a giant monster attacks a city and swallows a bus full of civilians, one woman must fight for her life.
