While usually Little Shoppe of Horrors covers Hammer films, they occasionally cover films outside of that famous studio. Their newest issue is a prime example of that, yet still staying over in the U.K. With issue # 52, they cover the 1961 film Gorgo, where they give their version of a Kaiju film and do a damn fine job of it too! Directed by Eugène Lourié and produced the famous King Brothers, this new issue is a whopping 270 pages! Pretty damn big for a “magazine” but it shows you the kind of depth and detail that editor Richard Klemensen and LSoH are known for.

You’ll get to read production information, comments and stories from crew members and even from Maury, Frank, & Hymie King. Plus, you’ll also learn more about the King Brothers themselves, from when their last name was Kozinsky, from having some ties to gangsters before moving into being some pretty famous independent film producers.

You’ll also get a feature from Stephen R. Bissette on the Gorgo comic books, as well as Konga and Reptilicus!

There are hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos, well over 600 images, some being published for the first time. Now it is a bit more than the normal issue of LSoH, but for one of this size and the amount it covers and knowing how well LSoH covers a movie when they cover it, I feel that it is totally worth the cost. Plus, considering there aren’t too many more issues left before Mr. Klemensen decides to retire, so it’s nice to help support a magazine that has been going for over half a century. And let’s not forget this amazing cover by Mark Maddox!
