Famous Monster Artist Of Filmland

This past year we lost artist and illustrator Basil Gogos, acclaimed cover portraitist for the fan-favorite Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. With a name that somehow suggests he was born to paint monster portraits, Basil Gogos first provided the cover art for the monster mag in 1960 (no. 9, seen below), just a few years after the magazine was founded in 1958, and went on to paint over 50 more eye-catching, blood-curdling master masterpieces. You can see more about the master of monster art at the Famous Monsters website.
