Eliminate your competition. You want to be top dog. Nothing really wrong with that. Most times the best of the bunch do succeed. Look at blockbuster video. they put the old Mom & Pop video stores out of business. They had the clout and the money to do it. They were top dog for the longest time. then Redbox & Netflix came along and good old Blockbuster had to file for bankruptcy. someone else cam along and had a better idea. Why go to the video store when the video store can come to you? It's one reason Warren came out with Monster World. If kids wanted more than FM he was gonna give them another monster mag. Admittedly it was just FM with a different name but still...he'd rather have kids buy Monster World than Horror Monster or Fantastic Monsters Of The Films. Warren was a smart man. He was the first kid on the block and pretty much had a slicker looking mag than the others, and the others all went belly up. But then came mags like Cinefantastique, Starlog and Fangoria. Warren's mags looked old and cheap by comparison. His money was dwindling. Monster were out - Sci-Fi was big. He could do stories on star wars, but what would you rather see - a fluff piece on Star Wars in black & white or articles in full color? Goodbye big dog. Hello bigger dog. Adios FM.

That grown men would waste brain power and karma obsessing on one gentle man's reputation and legacy is not what the CHFB is all about. It's posthumous character assassination, not thatr different, in truth, than asking poor Mr. Bloch for an autograph. At least Forry had the guts to do it when he was alive! Take this elsewhere if you must. Forrest J Ackerman, James Warren and their compatriots deserve better than these absurd attempts to not only rewrite history but to deny history. The CHFB would not exist without those men, and without Famous Monsters. And I would have loved if he came to my house! Enough. david colton monster kid Last Edited By: taraco Aug 7 12 5:08 PM.
