Monster (manga)
Written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa, "Monster" was published in "Big Comic Original" from December 1994 to December 2001. The 162 chapters were periodically collected into 18 "tankōbon" volumes published by Shogakukan, the first on 30 June 1995 and the last on 28 February 2002. While writing "Monster", Urasawa began the series "20th Century Boys" in 1999, which would continue after "Monster" had finished. "Monster" received a nine-volume "kanzenban" re-release between 30 January and 29 August 2008.
Famous Monsters of Filmland
After "Famous Monsters of Filmland" ceased publication in 1983, Ackerman was coaxed into briefly resuming his title as Editor of a horror-oriented magazine with "Forrest J Ackerman's MONSTER LAND" (with the official publication title inside as one all-caps word- "MONSTERLAND", and then "Monsterland" from 1986 onward) by Hal Schuster of New Media Publishing, which began publication in December 1984.. After two fill-in editorials by Ackerman as "Editor & Chief" (beginning with issue #10 /1986), the cover title "Forrest J Ackerman's MONSTER LAND" was shortened to "MONSTER LAND", and Ackerman's title changed to "EDITOR EMERITUS" (with James Van Hise assigned as "EDITIOR"). Inside that issue, host character "Evila" states that "Forry [had] moved on.". After the end of New Media Publishing in 1985, beginning with issue #10 the magazine was published by "Movieland Publishing, Inc", until the final issue #17 (summer 1987).
