Book Description
This is a critical overview of monster magazines from the 1950s through the 1970s. "Monster magazine" is a blanket term to describe both magazines that focus primarily on popular horror movies and magazines that contain stories featuring monsters, both of which are illustrated in comic book style and printed in black and white. The book describes the rise and fall of these magazines, examining the contributions of Marvel Comics and several other well-known companies, as well as evaluating the effect of the Comics Code Authority on both present and future efforts in the field. It identifies several sub-genres, including monster movies, zombies, vampires, sword-and-sorcery, and pulp-style fiction. The work includes several indexes and technical credits.

Book Description
Putting on gas masks and learning how to shoot Kalashnikov rifles in grade school made Soviet children fear possible attack by Cold War enemies. But a more prosaic invasion of Colorado beetles in the 1980s turned out to be a far more real threat to Soviet families. Many had to master farming when the state, near its demise, no longer had the finances to pay salaries. One of the last generation of Soviet teenagers who tasted the political restrictions and propaganda, and the benefits and deficits of the communist state, the author recalls her early years in a Soviet school, a Young Pioneer inauguration ceremony, work on a collective farm, her family's plot of land and their fights against invasive insects, and her first breaths of post-Soviet freedom, which brought economic havoc and bitter disappointments, along with new hopes.

Book Description
In the once-dominant and still-popular world of monster magazines, one name ruled for a long time..... but trademark rights prevent me from telling you that name. Still, you know - right? This volume contains first four issues of that famous magazine, and celebrate everything MONSTER. From the classics of Lon Chaney, Jr., Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and others, to the "modern" late 50s starts such as Vincent Price, this is a treasure-trove of the best of the worst that movies had to offer during its heyday. Originally published in 1958 as a one-shot, before long James Warren and Forrest J. Ackerman had a hit on their hands. Now hundreds of issues have been published, although it is now (sadly) more an online endeavor. Fortunate for the print-magazine fan, the first 21 issues of this magazine did not have the copyright renewed and therefore fell into the public domain - - and so Gwandanaland Comics is proud (and legally able) to bring you those issues! ISSUES #1-8 GWANDANALAND COMICS(TM): We specialize in character collections - many for the first time in print; we also publish individual issues from the past as well as complete comic title series'. Our books are not digitally remastered; we use images from actual comics, and make only minor adjustments to bring out their best characteristics without losing the authentic feel - it is rarely perfect, but we believe it is exciting. We take your requests and create special collections never gathered together before! At Gwandanaland Comics we take the extra time to give you the best quality possible! GWANDANALAND COMICS(TM) wishes everyone to know the value of, and debt owed to two Websites which have made sure that public domain and other comics are available to the world.

Book Description
From the end of the Mongol Empire to today, Russian history is a tale of cultural, political, economic and military interaction with Western powers. The depth of this relationship has created a geopolitical dilemma: Russia has persistently been both attracted to and at odds with Western ideas and technological development, which have tended to threaten Russia's sense of identity and create destabilizing divisions within society. Simultaneously, deepening involvement in Western international affairs brought meddling in Russian domestic politics and military invasion. This book examines how the centuries-old Western threat has shaped Russia's political and strategic structures, creating a culture of security rooted in vigilance against Western influence and interference.
