Actually, the website is self explanatory and you can read the information there!!! Take care, Connie *Connie*

(07/03/08 12:13 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	On the website I read, "FM #248 and FM #249 will be merged into the first 2 issues of SHOCK! in order to smooth the transition and maintain the series continuity. FM #250 will be published as a stand alone hallmark issue. SHOCK! will then continue as a quarterly publication while Famous Monsters will be published in a continuing series of Fearbooks and special issues." This leads me to a question about the numbering. The first two issues of the 'new' magazine will be numbered #248 and #249, which would have been the numbers of the next two issues of Famous Monsters. If it continues, and since it says that there will be a Famous Monsters #250, will the third issue of Shock Theater Classics be #251?

Once FM248/STC1 and FM249/STC2 go out, the next issue of Shock will be STC 3! After FM 250 the number will go to FM251, same as always. Take care, Connie *Connie*

The sales impetus from a new number one can be enormous, Connie! I hope you guys will consider adjusting the numbering. Rod

Theater Classics #1. The sales impetus from a new number one can be enormous, Connie! I hope you guys will consider adjusting the numbering. Rod We are trying to flip the "main" title over to STC without to much confusion too the marketplace and honoring subscriptions etc. while continuing to keep the FM logo on those issues. We had thought of printing some with FM248 and then FM249 on cover and some with STC1 and STC2 on the cover but figured that would be too confusing and also too many people would want both and that just wouldn't be fair in all honesty . We may print a Special Edition STC which would bear the number 1-A (or something similar after 250) but have not made that decision yet. The total flip to bring STC to the forefront and place FM in a special spot all it's own will also bring with it a 3rd, even more exciting title that is totally different than FM. That will definitely start with a number one and there will be a teaser about that on the website shortly. For us, it's not all about collectibility. It's about a magazine to read and enjoy. We make our decisions based on that. I hope that isn't offense to anyone, but it's just how we feel about it. Now, I know it's all as clear as mud, but I can't seem to grasp any better way to explain it. Take care, Connie *Connie*

I don't really think it will be as confusing as you want to think to most of our readers, but it's your thoughts and that's fine. Again, I was asked a question and I answered it with our thoughts on the matter, at this time, clearly letting you all know that some decisions have not been finalized yet. Okay, got places to go. Take care all, Connie *Connie*

I'm wondering, who did the cover for #2, which everyone here (including me) seems to love. Seems a little different from Arlis' other work.

There, just for you Kerry! I didn't realize the other one was so "ghostly" until you mentioned it. Take care, Connie *Connie*

Doesn't look like much to me. I wonder who's doing all the artwork for it? Ray Steele Check out the current incarnation of Cinefantastique Magazine: CFQ Online

(07/07/08 11:16 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I thought the cover art looked great and also the concept seems pretty good to me, it's something different from what Ray and Connie have done in the past. I ordered my copy this morning. But you really can't judge until you actually look and read it . I bid you Welcome!!! Kevin AKA (FAMOUSMONSTERS62)
