It inspired hundreds of today’s biggest filmmakers, and now that the publication has joined forces with IDW, it looks to inspire countless more. We’ve got the final look at Famous Monsters of Filmland Issue #251 for you that features new, dynamic artwork by legendary comics artist Richard Corben, as well as a peek at the first variant cover. As if you needed any more reasons to get excited!

The final cover premiered at WonderCon, one of the country’s leading comics and pop culture conventions, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, April 2-4.
