FAREWELL, BASIL GOGOS...


I can't tell you how many times your wonderful work uplifted me, with colors that thrived, pulsated and inundated my dark soul. You covered amazing, sacred and macabre ground, Mr. Gogos, paying homage to so many of my monstrous friends, from the Frankenstein Monster to Count Dracula, from King Kong to Godzilla. You were one of the true, deserving, celebrated masters of your field. That you will no longer paint another portrait or imaginative scene upon this Earth is a tremendous loss to us all, but your marvelous legacy is carved in proverbial stone--your name destined to spawn sighs of gratitude among those of us who savored your work through Famous Monsters of Filmland and beyond.
