Monster Mag Art: Vintage Originals & Recent Recreations

 
Cyril Jordan recently completed oil paintings recreating Nuetzell's FAMOUS MONSTERS cover art for the prized early issues #4, 5, 6 and #7. Above is prior to final touches by Cyril. FM #7 was the 1st monster magazine to feature a contemporary horror personality on the cover: Zacherley in 1960.

Cyril ponders the mysteries of the FM Universe! These vintage original FM covers were being offered to him for the 1st time. Eenie meenie...

(BEFORE) Cyril's painting is an homage to the Albert Nuetzell FAMOUS MONSTERS #4 cover art. Several major changes were requested - click on image to see the changes (AFTER).

This oil painting of Famous Monsters #6 is another recreation by artist Cyril Jordan. Again, the photo here doesn't quite do it justice as Cyril added more detail and color shortly after. Sold for $500. A tribute to the original by Nuetzell.
