The Lady is our Mother Nature…  Harsh Reality #1 (1995) Mag of serious Satanism. I think I had the only piece of (non-serious) fiction in it! Editor: Lord Neilos Cover: Ambrose Pierce Also contains article by Paul Hine: HP Lovecraft: Visionary of the VoidThe rest of the titles are very worrying... EDIT: I have now sought out the work of mine that was in it and put it here (one of approx 1,000 such works published in the 1990s in 1,000 different publications!) — etepsed.wordpress.com/2021/09/01/982/ |

That is strange. What's even stranger is that I hadn't even noticed. I went back to pulpcovers and there's a link to the image on flickr which has the following info:
Creature From the Black Lagoon" by Vargo Statten (aka John Russell Fearn). Dragon Publications Ltd., (1954). First edition. Novel based on the 1954 Universal film.
He's just a man in a rubber suit but very convincing for his day. The Gill-Man is an ingenious and complicated costume created after eight-and-a-half months' research by Universal-International makeup chief Bud Westmore and his staff. And the creature who lumbered around the lot dressed in the foam-rubber suit is an ex-Marine named Ben Chapman who played the part of the Gill-Man in the 1954 film. Costume designer Milicent Patrick had to change his shape 76 times before her sketches were finally approved. It was then up to Bud Westmore and Jack Kevan to actually create the costume which had to be completely waterproof because much of the action takes place underwater. Then, too, it had to be light and flexible enough so that Chapman could move easily and with realism in his part.
But yes, that is very strange. I wonder why?

But yes, that is very strange. I wonder why?Because Dragon Publication was a cheap outfit which didn't care and just wanted to earn a quick pound? Nevertheless I think this has to be more true to the movie than the infamous Walter Harris version 20 years later which ignored most of the plot. I never read the Fearn version, but judging from the time-frame I can't imagine that he would have done the same. |
