BIG GORGO SPECIAL EDITION + EXTRA!

You no doubt saw the banner I had under the WoM title last week. That's because I received my copy of Richard Klemensen's overwhelming, 250-+ page tome on everything Gorgo last week. I can't stress enough how well done this is and it's crammed full of sharp images and a novel's-worth of text, including an in-depth making of the picture and tons of extras.

"The Klem" has opted to go with a print-on-demand edition instead of publishing it himself and it more than maintains the quality of his magazine, LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS. Sadly, this will be the next to the last of his 'zine that has been around for over 50 years. Richard deserves to retire and enjoy the rest of his life, but I'll sure miss this gem of a mag.

I give the special all-Gorgo issue of LSOH my highest recommdation.

Order direct from the publisher HERE.

EXTRA! Here's the 9th issue of Charlton's Gorgo comic book series just 'cause.

GORGO RETURNS FROM THE DEEP!

I don't know about you but Gorgo is one of my favorite giant monster movies. Like Godzilla, Gorgo is a product of "suitmation" and great care was taken to "animate" both mother and baby Gorgo by building the sets to exacting scale for more realism. Named after the Greek gorgon Medusa, Gorgo was first slated to be set in Japan, then France, then Australia and finally the production execs settled on England. It got pasted in the UK press when it was released, but who listens to critics anyway!

If I had an extra coupla hundred bucks I'd probably spring for this. It would make a nice desktop conversation piece, don't you think?

Here's a really unique item a 13" x 20" long Mother GORGO that comes fully assembled and painted ready for display packaged in a full color graphic Box! Only 500 are made worldwide.

For a hundred dollars less you can get this limited edition Gorgo vinyl action figure. No info on how tall, but I bet it's not 13". What's cool about this is it comes with a baby Gorgo.
