Everyone knows how Forrest J. Ackerman, founder of the first monster movie magazine Famous Monsters Of Filmland, kept the spirit of terrifying creatures, large and small, alive in many people. Shining the light on the monsters and the people behind them, be it actors or make up artists the magazine inspired countless of readers to pick up their movie camera or make up kit and try their hand at creating movie magic. Many of those kept at it and have become bionafied industry powerhouses. With the passing of Ackerman late last year Hollywood lost a legend.
Nakatomi INC have been working in super secret with FM and can now reveal their awesomeness. Working with animator and comic book artist Nick Derington (lead animator on A Scanner Darkly) to create two prints to be available at this year's Comic Con.
The first one is a give away limited to 225 copies. A 18x24 hand pulled silkscreen...for free. Trust me, these will fly out so if you are in San Diego at the con, run like a bastard to their booth to get your hands on it. Nakatomi should have these available later on their site.
The second one is a stunner. A loving tribute to the man himself, Forry Ackerman. This 12x18, signed and numbered hand pulled silkscreen is limited to 100 copies worldwide and will NOT be available at Nakatomi's site afterwards. So every self respecting horror fan should have this on their wall after the con.
Take a closer look at the prints after the break.
Famous Monsters.
