Famous Monsters of Filmland #272 - History of SF or Richard Matheson cover

With the passing of Richard Matheson, the world loses one its last titans. From literary works and films like I AM LEGEND, A STIR OF ECHOES, HELL HOUSE, and TV classics like William Shatner's episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and Steven Spielberg's breakout hit, DUEL, Matheson was a writer who could work brilliantly in any medium.

FM 272 looks at Matheson's life, work and influence, and includes a special, exclusive memorial from his family, including his son acclaimed author and screenwriter Richard Christian Matheson.

FM 272 also takes a look at the long and wonderful history of Sci-Fi literature. Founding editor Forrest J. Ackerman wasn't nicknamed "Mr. Sci-Fi" for nothing. In honor of his greatest love, FM hits the high points and sees how it all evolved from Wells to Asimov to Crichton and beyond.
