Cushing Fan

That is a gorgeous poster for The Mummy (excellent film as well). I find that the foreign poster art is usually superior to the U.S. or U.K. versions. For smaller posters easy to frame with great artwork try checking out Belgian posters.

I forgot to mention that I do run both a Peter Cushing and a Donald Pleasence fan group on Facebook. Here is the link for my Peter Cushing group with over 9,000 fellow Peter Cushing fans :-) https://m.facebook.com/groups/petercushingassociation

Unfortunately I never got to interview Cushing. I had a rare 1970s interview Cushing did on audio which I provided for the DVD.

A great underrated horror film and besides Cushing you also get a cranky John Carradine. My favorite poster art for this film comes from Italy.

One of my favorites as well - I provided a Peter Cushing audio interview for this Blu-ray release.

That is the gorgeous Yvonne Romain. Here she is in Curse of the Werewolf.

Enjoy Whitstable! Yes, Cushing often frequented the Tudor Tea Rooms pub and there is a photo of him above his regular table. Cushing was also an accomplished artist and had three booklets published of sketches he did of the patrons at Tudor Tea Rooms.

Thanks! Pleasence was another of my favorite actors - an outstanding character actor who gave some really great performances in many films - The Great Escape being one (Pleasence was a real POW held by the Germans in WWII), You Only Live Twice, and of course Halloween being a few.

Yes, that was my first biography that I got published in 2004. My second biography was on Donald Pleasence (pic below). I have a bio on actor Ralph Bates (another Hammer actor) coming out this year and I'm halfway done with a bio on German actor Anton Diffring who did a lot of war and thriller films.

Cushing and Lee were a great duo. Here they are in an Argentinian comic book adaptation of Horror Express.

It was a Hammer connection - I caught The Evil of Frankenstein with Cushing on TV when I was seven years old and have been a fan ever since. Here is a pic of my first biography which was devoted to Peter Cushing. Another comic book connection as my friend, comic book artist Neil Vokes, did all the chapter intro illustrations.

Here is another Peter Cushing comic book connection - Cushing as a zombie hell bent on revenge in Tales from the Crypt.

Ah yes, House of the Long Shadows. The only film which had all four surviving horror stars together. I enjoyed the film even though Desi Arnaz Jr was pretty wooden in his role. I actually have that same UK Quad poster framed at home.

I'm glad both Price & Cushing made comic book covers :-)

Those giffs are from Space 1999: The Missing Link, the documentary One Way Ticket to Hollywood, and Corruption from top to bottom ;-)

Thank you very much! I actually didn't see this so I greatly appreciate you posting it here.

Yeah, that dark brown cover shows every imperfection.

So here is another question regarding page quality - should CGC encapsulated books be broken out and encapsulated again after so many years or could they stay encapsulated forever with no ill effects?

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has a working address to send fan mail to artist John Romita Jr. I found two addresses online - one in Carlsbad, CA and one in Port Jefferson, NY but I'm not sure if either is good. Chris

Just curious if anyone knows if John Romita Jr. ever discussed in an interview basing the character of Justin Hammer on actor Peter Cushing (who became famous working for Hammer films).

Hi everyone, Just wanted to get a general consensus on something I am thinking about. First off, I am a big Silver Surfer fan and started buying some CGC graded Surfer keys. I also have the collected Surfer stories in paperback so I can actually read them. I currently have a FF48 CGC 7.0, FF49 CGC 8.5 & SS1 CGC 9.0 Signature Series signed by Lee & Sinnott. Value wise, would it be better to hold onto these three books or sell them in order to get a FF48 CGC 9.0-9.2? Chris
