The Incredible Hulk at one time had a successful comic book and a TV Show at the same time!

So to capitalize on the Hulk's new mainstream visibility, Marvel produced a 'Rampaging Hulk' magazine to differentiate it from the 'Incredible Hulk' comic book and increase newstand sales with a magazine.

That lasted a few issues until Marvel decided to just call the mag 'The Hulk' magazine! 

We have listed a few more of the Hulk magazines today, and are posting this blog post to draw attention to that fact as we normally don't have these in stock since they were oversized publications and normally most were not stored properly.

Cinefantastique was a magazine featuring horror, fantasy, and science fiction films with in depth articles and photos within its pages.

The magazine originally saw print as a mimeographed fanzine in 1967. Later it relaunched as a glossy, offset quarterly magazine in 1970 by publisher/editor Frederick S. Clarke. (Currently we have one copy of this hard to find OOP collector's item for sale!).

The magazine originally intended to be a serious review journal of the film genres.  It immediately set the standard for such an enterprise. 

The magazine's competitors at the time were 'Famous Monsters of Filmland' and 'The Monster Times' both of which were good magazines, but were not high profile magazines.

Cinefantastique got rave reviews from the critics due to its' using a slick paper stock and using many full color film stills within its interior pages.

Cinefantastique's approach to printing articles and reviews used a near-scholarly approach and didn't speak down to the readers, similar to what Stan Lee did when starting the Marvel Age of Comics.

Cinefantastique quickly became known for its jam-packed "retrospective" articles. When it saw it circulation increase, Cinefantastique began producing huge 'double sized issues' which would have a theme, such as the 'Making Of' Star Wars or the 'Making Of' the Black Hole, etc.

The magazine has recently gone through a re-organzation and is now called 'CFQ'.
