MAIN ENTERPRISES' MAKE MINE MONSTERS #4: KAIJU FRANKENSTEIN PREVIEW PICS

Here's something to wet readers' appetites for Main Enterprises' Make Mine Monsters #4: kaiju illustrations to accompany my article, "Gargantuas, Frankenstein Style."

The vivid images are a team-up endeavor by artists Troy Boyle and Marc Haines, one commemorating Frankenstein Conquers the World (Frankenstein vs Baragon) and the other, War of the Gargantuas (Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda vs Gaira). 

To add to the excitement, Make Mine Monsters #4 is edging ever closer to completion. Updates to follow ... 

PPFSZT! #43: AN ECLECTIC BURST OF FAR-OUT FUN FROM MAIN ENTERPRISES!!!

Jim Main Enterprises has just released PPFSZT! #43 (Summer Issue '18), and holy cow, what a mighty, cryptic spree it is!!! 

In case you're wondering, PPFSZT! covers a variety of imaginative subjects and some of the coolest, experimental fiction and detailed illustrations that one will find in today's competitive market.

Issue 43's stories are "Cold War Casualty", a symbolic excursion by Link Huller; "The Daughter Wins! (Sort of)", a Sherlock Holmes sequel to "The Detective's Daughter", by Mike Maloney; "Prisoners of the Ice Kings: Part 1", an icy, seafaring sojourn by Roger C. Keel; and "Worthless Monster", a comic-reprint of cosmic irony from Journey Into Comics #8, written by Charles T. Smith and illustrated by Paul Legrazie. 

In addition, Tom Ahearn; Doc Boucher; Troy Boyle; Kevin Duncan; Sam Gafford; Marc Haines; and John Lambert complement the issue with their artistic interiors. There's even a striking, Snake Plissken centerspread (by Boyle and Haines); and for the back cover, a vibrant, Mothra/fairies tribute by legends, Jeff Austin and Rock Baker. Of course, there's also Anthony C. Gray's swell Stonehenge cover that's sure to catapult one's vibes to a splendid, mystical high. 

To supplement the package even further, good ol' Jim Main gives us a warm "Publisher Speaks"; a fan-letter section; and a handy United Fanzine Organization (UFO) checklist to ensure readers stay in touch. 

I give PPFSZT! #43 an avid thumps up: the most fun I've had in many an eccentric moon.
