We all know the sad, sad story... the last issue of TMT was #48. But, there were plans for the next issue, detailed in the blurb on the back cover. Our group member and moderator JM Cozzoli said this on his blog post about it: "The Monster Times went out with a whimper when issue 48, the last issue, hit the magazine racks. Not that the Six Million Dollar Man and cyborg coverage was poor, but at only 25 pages, with 5 full page ads, it was a slim issue to go out on. The teaser for issue 49, which never happened, would have entertained us with more Mexican monster movie coverage, It Came from Beneath the Sea, interviews with Vincent Price and others, and an "eye-opening treatise on horror stamp collecting." And...a look at the eeriest amusement parks! I wonder if any galley proofs of that lost issue exist?" Well, for your entertainment and edification, I present.... my idea of the cover for issue #49!
