Forrest James Ackerman (1916 – 2008) was an American magazine editor; science fiction writer and literary agent; a founder of science fiction fandom; a leading expert on science fiction, horror, and fantasy films; and one of the world's most avid collectors of genre books and film memorabilia. As a literary agent, he represented such science fiction authors as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, A.E. Van Vogt, Curt Siodmak, and L. Ron Hubbard. For more than 70 years, he was one of science fiction's staunchest spokesmen and promoters. He was the founding editor and principal writer of the American magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland, published by Warren Publishing. He co-created the character Vampirella, based on the 1968 Jane Fonda film Barbarella. Forrest Ackerman was a complete badass.

This magazine features a great portrait of Forrest as Reinfield on the cover, painted by the great Frank Kelly Freas. It is signed twice by Forrest, on the cover and also on the contents page. Both excellent signatures.
