Oh the romance with Vampires. Who doesn’t love a well dressed blood sucking man coming into their bedroom in the middle of the night? Nothing makes you feel sexy like the scrape of a fang against your neck, or the sound of your heart beating with fear in your exposed chest.
Monster magazines and comics have always been, and always will be popular. My favorites are the Fanzeens – wonderful publications created by fans.
Yesterday I visited my friend Steve who somehow ended up with boxes of monster magazines that he is now selling on ebay (super cheap thrills – priced to sell.) Of course I was immediately attracted to the artwork on these things. I’d frame a lot of this stuff. Just imagine a wall of eight or nine framed pieces in a square arrangement. Nice.
I’m just going to share a few so you can get your classic movie type Vampire fix (since you usually don’t get it here since I’m not that kind of Vampire, well, not usually.)
Hope you enjoyed the artwork.
This week more and more old monster, Vampire, Frankenstein, Aliens, Star Wars, and other related film magazines and comic books will go up for auction. All auctions start at $0.99. Yes, everything is going for cheap. There are also “buy it now” opportunities. Some of the descriptions are as good/fun as the magazines.
The seller is sfk1999. He usually specializes in watches, estate jewelry and other antiques, but lucky for us this week he has monsters and Vampires.
And today a couple of Peter Cushing autographs are going up for sale. Woo Hoo.
If you’re interested in buying everything left in this huge stash Steve has (a lot hasn’t been posted yet on ebay) call him at his shop: Crown Precious Metals, Sacramento California (in beautiful East Sacramento.) (916) 456-6227.
Have fun.

Almost as cool as the artwork are all of the classic, retro fonts. They don’t make neat looking letters like that anymore…
Absolutely. I bet a lot of it was hand drawn or custom rub-on type.
Wow – they’re quite special I would say. Thanks for sharing them. 🙂
You’re welcome.
Ah, such lovely memories, J. 🙂
Fun stuff.
Cool 🙂
Always. Thanks.
How can he part with these? I need to do thi s with my old LPs but I just can’t! Each time I try I end up in a 5 hour personal rock concert and drink too much wine! 🙂
These aren’t from the sellers personal collection. They came in with a bunch of other stuff he purchased from an estate. There are a few I might just have to pull out for myself.
Oh I misunderstood on Facebook they were hls. At any rate some good ones!
