Aurora/FM Coupon

Aurora and FM had an ongoing relationship for many years and during the mid '60s this coupon could be found in the boxes of their monster models. It offered a free copy (i.e., random back issue) of FM if you sent in the coupon with 25¢ for shipping. Probably not a lot of these have survived, as they would have been used. These coupons have also been found in the SPP monster wallets.

From the Richard Olson collection.

  1. Mystery solved! I have been trying to remember how I got my free copy of FM back in the day. I do remember it taking FOREVER to get it. Maybe it was because I was on the West Coast? My copy was issue #28 with the Lugosi "Lost Souls" cover. It arrived in a manila envelope a bit beat up, but hey -- it was a free monster mag! Thanks for jogging my memory with the post!
