Imaginator Magazine Issue 10 - Paperback

by Ken Miller (Author), Ramsey Campbell (Contribution by), William Martell (Contribution by)

Issue 10 of IMAGINATOR boasts loads of mouth-wateringly marvellous Godzilla-related contents, plus a massive celebration of the bloody & brilliant cult classic SHOGUN ASSASSIN. There are other goodies too, including reviews of a bunch of entertaining movies, including MONSTER SHARK and RIVER OF BLOOD.

Forming part of this issue's big tribute to GODZILLA movies is a series of 12 mini-articles, written by a selection of creative people (artists, actors, directors, publishers, and so on), who each choose their favourite Godzilla film. This is your chance to discover which Godzilla film inspired a young Joe Castro to become a special FX artist, which kaiju movie gem is loved by The Dark Side editor Allan Bryce, and what memories were triggered when director Mark Duffield reminisced about his visit to the cinema as a kid to watch the Showa era Godzilla film MONSTERS FROM AN UNKNOWN PLANET.

Some of these articles originally appeared in issue 2 of Film Frenzy, a magazine Ken Miller edited and co-published through Eastern Heroes. Now that he's running his own publication, Ken decided to share some of those contents, notably the SHOGUN ASSASSIN features, because, well, they're great, especially the interviews with two key figures connected to the making of the movie: Jim Evans and Gibran Evans. Hopefully more readers will now get the chance to enjoy this material!
