The Thunder Child writes “Steve Vertlieb, who contributes regular essays to The Thunder Child in our Vertlieb’s Views section (bios of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, appreciations of Bernard Herrmann, “How I Met the Blob” and so on) knew Forry Ackerman for over 40 years. He has penned a rememberance called The Most “Famous Monster” of Them All. Check it out at: http://thethund.ipower.com/Movies/VertliebViews/ForryAckermanTribute.html (Forrest J. Ackerman was the editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, and the only non-Ray of the three-Rays – friends with Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen since teenage-hood.)”
