GET READY! GET SET! MAIN ENTERPRISES' *PPFSZT! #44 BRINGS WINTER FUN!!!


The latest issue of Jim Main's *PPFSZT! is here!!!

Though Kevin Duncan's splendid cover for #44 conveys a seasonal chill, there's nothing but creative warmth brewing from this 36-page, Winter installment, which includes tributes to "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman", "Werewolf of London", "The Thing from Another World (with Fantastic Four's Ben Grimm), "Doctor Who", "The Witchfinder General/Conqueror Worm"...and for all you Bogie fans, "The Treasure of Sierra Madre". There's also Mike Maloney's moody "One Night in Noir" and Part 2 of Roger C. Keel's haunting "Prisoners of the Ice Kings".


Along with Keel and Maloney, the contents' slew of accompanying artists is also impressive: Roland Austin, Jack Bertram, Lance Doc Boucher, Troy David Boyle, Jason Bullock, Tom Doyle, Kevin Dale Duncan, Don Fortier, Anthony C. Gray, Rusty Gilligan, Marc Haines, John Lambert, Scott McClung, Robert J. Sodaro, Carl Taylor...Rick Williams. Yeah, takes one's breath away.  


I love the way Main blends so many different ideas, imagery and themes into *PPFSZT!: all invigorating, all edifying. There's no source quite as offbeat or special as *PPFSZT! Try an issue. You're guaranteed to be hooked!


*PPFSZT! #44 can be purchased for $6.50 (check or money order), from Jim Main/Main Enterprises at PO Box 93, New Milford, CT 06776.
