Warren Presents #001 - UFO and Alien Comix 1


Axe Elf

The "Warren Presents" series apparently has two different numbering systems, but I will use the one presented by the Warren Magazines Index, which starts with #1 and runs through #14. The alternate numbering system says that #10-#12 don't exist, and #7 doesn't exist either, because it was supposed to be "Moonraker." But Moonraker clearly fits more neatly among the other Movie Specials, and a numbering system in which some numbers were arbitrarily skipped doesn't appeal to me. And while maybe #1 doesn't explicitly say "Warren Presents" on the cover, #2, #3 and #4 do, so I don't know why the alternate numbering system would exclude them and not start numbering until #5. Finally, I'm including 3 additional "Warren Presents" issues at the end of the run which some might argue are really more "Famous Monsters of Filmland" issues than "Warren Presents" issues. But their full titles are "Warren Presents Famous Monsters of Filmland 1981/1982/1983 Film Fantasy Yearbook," and the "Famous Monsters of Filmland" title hadn't had an Annual/Yearbook issue since 1972, while the other "Warren Presents" titles were largely published contemporaneously between 1978 and 1982. And if anyone wants to argue that they aren't comic magazines, neither were #8 and #9, and no one argues that those two issues aren't a part of the series. So I think they fit more neatly in with the "Warren Presents" than they would with "Famous Monsters of Filmland." (And besides, I'm not collecting those!)
