“MONSTER MAG” IS BACK!
Outside of its high profile for gore making it highly collectable, with back issues regularly selling for £20/$30, it has a far greater claim to fame… By accident, its second issue has become the world’s most scarce film magazine.
While French and German editions can sometimes be found on eBay – where they sell for as high as $1250 – there are no copies in existence of the English language number 2, having all been destroyed by HM Customs on arrival from its Italian printer, deemed unsuitable for an all-age market (a For Adults Only band was added to covers from issue 3 and stickered for a rereleased issue 1).
Another frustration for collectors is that in vol 2 #3 (issue 17) editor Dez Skinn promised that the next issue would be a “Double X” Special. But it never happened. Instead the legendary House of Hammer was launched.
With Roger Cook and Dez Skinn both working together again, there’s some long-overdue tidying up they’re promising to prioritise…
