The Legionnaire’s Guide to Weaponizing Retailers (A Step-by-Step Cosmic Takeover)

 🚨 ATTENTION, LEGIONNAIRES! 🚨

YOUR MISSION (SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT):

Make Space Monsters Magazine and Oblivion Trading Post merch appear in stores near you—or die trying!

HOW TO DEPLOY:

1️⃣ SCREAM at your local comic/horror shops:

"WHY DON’T YOU STOCK SPACE MONSTERS?!" (Extra points for fake tears)

2️⃣ TAG US @SpaceMonstersMag + the shop (we’ll back you up menacingly)

3️⃣ TELL THEM to email spacemonsterzmag@gmail.com for:

Wholesale pricing...code available to retailers upon request. 

Press kits (to prove we’re legitimately unhinged)

Bragging rights (because carrying us = instant cool points)

WHY BOTHER?

✔️ More stores = more recruits for Grimaldi’s Legion

✔️ We’ll list all certified retailers in Issue #2 (eternal fame!)

✔️ Never again suffer "Sorry, we don’t carry that" despair

🔥 FIRST 20 FANS to get a store to order get:

"Retail Terrorist" digital badge (brag on ALL profiles)

Shoutout in our newsletter (65k+ equally deranged subscribers)

P.S. Too impatient? Order direct & rub it in their faces:

From the Editor...  

The thing about Space Monsters Magazine is that it's really not a fanzine. It's not a bunch of armchair critics with delusions of grandeur and overinflated egos droning on and on about petty, and ill-informed critiques.  It's literally the ONLY cross-genre magazine that's written by film professionals, for professionals and fans alike.  You'll love it, and it's also the ONLY movie magazine - comic book hybrid.  It's been doing well so far, take a chance, pick up a copy on Amazon, Amazon Kindle, and on June 8th on Barnes and Noble...or simply go directly to Oblivion Trading Post...the coolest horror and sci-fi trading post in existence.  Retailers, hit me up direct for special rates for you, advertising rates for issue #2 and beyond, and more... Why would you read a fanzine when you could instead read something to actually learn about the craft from the pros themselves?

Dial M for Monster - Space Monsters #1 Calling All Horror Fans!

 

"Goooood evening, Earthies…"

Do you have the nerve—nay, the audacity—to behold SPACE MONSTERS #1, the collector’s magazine so dripping with dread, it makes Tales from the Crypt look like a bedtime story?

"Ohhhh, don’t turn the page just yet… because the real terror is missing out!"

For a mere $14.99, you’ll clutch in your trembling hands 100 pages of diabolical delights, featuring:

🔪 Casey Orr (GWAR’s Beefcake The Mighty)—sketching nightmares so vile, they’ll haunt your doodle margins forever!
🧟 Donald Farmer—the madman behind Shark Exorcist, because demonic sharks are a niche… but oh, what a niche!
🖤 Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser’s Chatterer)—proving that Cenobites have standards (chains optional).
🧛 Elizabeth Belmont—a historian by day, a vampire whisperer by night (grading papers in blood calligraphy, no doubt).
📻 Dennis Daniel—the Rondo-nominated horror scribe whose words slither off the page like something from a forbidden tomb! (40 years of terror journalism—he’s earned the right to haunt you.)
🎨 Simon Pritchard’s hand-painted horrors—because digital art is for cowards who fear ink stains!
And that’s just the opening act, my dear, doomed reader!

"Oh-ho-ho, but the horrors multiply…"

📖 Donald F. Glut (Empire Strikes Back novelizer!)—answering your questions (but NO Star Wars—some mysteries must stay buried!).
🎤 Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6)—sharpening her Katz Claws for a scream queen showdown!
🤖 Jason Brazeal (Editor-In-Chief!)—Hollywood insider, FX savant, and the mad genius stitching this whole monstrosity together!

"Shivering yet? You should be…"

This 5.5" x 8.5" abomination is a FantaCo production—the same legends who brought you nightmares since 1978! Published twice a year, so you’ll have just enough time to recover… or not.

"But wait—there’s more… if you dare!"

🚀 **Visit www.spacemonsters.art**—where the monsters lurk… and the Kickstarter hungers for your support!
💀 Back the campaign NOW before it’s too late! 👉 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fantaco/space-monsters-1

"So, my dear, doomed collector… will you let this eldritch treasure slip through your fingers? Or will you seize it… before it seizes you?"

🔪 Grab SPACE MONSTERS #1 NOW—while your soul’s still (mostly) intact! 🔪

"Until next time… sleep with the lights on." 🚀💀
