That fire thing ticked me off.  There is an issue I have been dying to get for years and I missed my chance. 

Which issue Mave?

And it is true, that fire was really lame, but their prices were outta line. I mean I got issue 8 with the Fulci Zombie on the cover for $2 and they had it at $75! I guess I just got lucky...

My goal is to get every issue up to year 2000. And I'd love to get a full run of the original Famous Monsters line, but those are even rarer...

I hate eBay.

Good luck, Lon.  The warehouse that Fango stored all of their back issues in burned about 18 months ago.  Fango Backissues are REALLY limited, so don't be surprised to pay  a jacked up price.

Oh, yes, I'm fully aware.  That's why I thought I'd try my luck in this thread, maybe see if anyone of you's guys have it.  As I mentioned above, I don't like eBay and Amazon only has Fango Subscriptions available.

Incidentally, I'm also looking for Fango number 198 or 199...I forget which it is, but they printed a letter I wrote, and my copy up and disappeared on me not long after it was printed.

I'm looking for this particular issue because of one thing: The Fangoria Splatterbowl.  A fan wrote and drew a five page comic strip featuring a showdown between Jason, Michael Myers, Leatherface and The Thing, and I thought it was great.  I've only seen it once -- a friend of mine owned it in highschool and it's the only time I've ever seen it, and it took me several hours last night (with a lot of help from Google) to find out which issue it was in.
