Joined by Editor Chuck Serface, with a cover from Hugo winner Maurine Starkey, we take a look at the legendary host of Creature Features, Bob Wilkins, one of the GoHs at WorldCon 76 and a major reason many of the BArea fans of the 1970s and 80s came to fandom. 

We feature articles on the man himself, about horror paperbacks, about horror films, and even an interview of Forry Ackerman with Bob Wilkins from 1973. 

This issue is dedicated to the memory of Randy Byers. 

Hugo-winner Helen Montgomery joins us editing again for this issue looking at the world of Disney, from films to theme parks to conventions and more!
