Compared to Wallestein even Zora and Cimiteria look tame when it comes to misogynistic violence. Still, great covers. So much better then the interior art. Thanks for the link, Dem.

Wow. That is a gross out cover even by Wallestein standards. Think i will go for something a little tamer though.

Kennedy! Grateful thanks to Cranston for sending the latest, typically eclectic Kontinental X[Mas]. As a books & mags over movie & TV person, it's Chilled To The Bone, a Pocket Chiller Library retrospective, scores highest with me. Cranston's enthusiasm for such obvious masterpieces as Fear Has A Thousand Eyes, The Hangman, and To Kill For Kicks is an infectious thing, and a check-list of all 137 titles is a definite plus. In comic corner, two EvilFrance publications, Hitler and Kennedy, described by the editor as "bordering on the totally tasteless." He reproduces sample panels from each to help you agree. I still have the lengthy piece on German Director Jurgen Goslar to read, but the appreciation (there is no other word) of Suzy Tales That Witness Madness Kendall is well, sweet. Congratulations on making it to #10, Mr. Wyler! Psycho psychology student Grey Wyler takes on Simon Templar in ace The Saint episode, The Death Game!

Gosh - lovely! That piccie is from Pocket Chiller No. 103 - Pit of Hell, which I treasured when I was 9 - the story of dead Alwyn Costain and his revenge on the poor young chap who tried to steal his ring by causing his hand to rot off.
Er...how might one go about getting this? I seem to have lost all contact details.

Just arrived from darkest Glasgow .... Cranston McMillan (ed) - Kontinental X #11, The Now or Never Issue. (Also Press, Aug-Sept 2013 "Another murder. Same as last time. Body dumped in the bushes. And the worst of it is she's dead." Yes, Wallestein and his two faces of evil are back, picking up where they left off in issue 8. As ever, Cranston's 24-page 'zine is nothing if not eclectic. In Like Havoc is a celebration of Fleetway's Top Secret Picture Library (1974-6) featuring reluctant spy John Havoc, the fall guy in a disastrous UK-German military exercise. Havoc is determined to clear his name, the Secret Service are equally intent on involving him in ever more life-threatening missions. The horror content this time out is restricted to an enthusiastic review of Shaun Hutson's affectionate novelisation of The Revenge of Frankenstein, touching briefly upon Hammer's post-resurrection movie releases. Elsewhere, Grey Wyler treats us to three more of his guilty (or maybe not) pleasures, and the editor concludes his Frederick Stafford feature with an overview of his post-Hollywood, Euro flicks, the bulk of which are apparently dreadful (never having seen Suppose I Break Your Neck, The White Horses Of Summer, Werewolf Woman & Co., am prepared to take a fan's word for it). For more details, write cranstonman ATo2.co.uk. thanks, Cranston!
