MYRON FASS
3/29/1926 – 9/14/2006
Tales Of Horror 13
Myron Fass began his career as a comic book artist and later became famous as an editor and publisher of pulp magazines. After some public relation jobs during World War II, he worked in the field of comic books from 1948 to 1955. He illustrated western, crime, horror, romance and jungle girl comics for companies such as Atlas, Trojan, Gleason and Toby Press in comic books like ‘Tales of Horror’, ‘Adventures Into Terror’, ‘Astonishing’, ‘Uncanny Tales’, ‘Great Lover Romances’, ‘Black Diamond Western’, ‘Crime Smashers’, ‘Western Crime Busters’ and ‘Atomic Spy Cases’.
He then began his own magazine called Lunatickle, one of the first MAD imitators which featured work by Joe Kubert, Russ Heath and Theodore S. Hecht. At the end of 1964 Fass started his tabloid paper National Mirror which ran until 1973. By then, Fass was one of the foremost publishers of sleazy pulp magazines, including Official American Horseman, Hall of Fame Wrestling, True War, Official UFO, Show Dogs, Terror Tales, Horror Tales, Rock, Hard Rock, Super Rock, Punk Rock, Acid Rock, Groupie Rock, Son of Sam, Shotgun Journal, Homicide Detectives and Movie Lies.
Myron Fass was to magazine publishing what Ron Ormond and Al Adamson were to film making, only consistently lacking their sometimes dubious scruples and ethics. He is best remembered for his wild assortment of magazines published from the 60’s to 70’s by the company called Countrywide Publications. The covers were graphic and lurid and unlike anything else on the magazine stands at the time.
Myron Fass sat at the top of a pulp magazine publishing empire in the seventies that sometimes published as many as fifty titles a month, including such diverse mags as – Official American Horseman, Hall of Fame Wrestling, True War, Official UFO, Show Dogs, Terror Tales, Horror Tales, Rock, Hard Rock, Super Rock, Punk Rock, Acid Rock, Groupie Rock, Son of Sam, Shotgun Journal, Homicide Detective, Murder Squad Detective, Shooting Bible, .44 Mag, Jaguar, Led Zep, Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind, Clones, Space Wars, Space Trek, Private Confessions of Doctors and Nurses, Movie TV Secrets, TV Photo Story, PhotoTV Land, Movie Lies, The World of Sherlock Holmes, ad infinitum. But it hadn’t always been that way.
There isn’t much information available on Myron Fass and what follows below was pieced together largely from the one article I was able to find on him, specifically “I, Myron” by Mark Jacobson, which was published in the Oct. 23, 1978 issue of the Village Voice when Fass was on top of his game. Various internet references to him, usually from former employees or colleagues, have also been woven in to help complete the picture as much as possible along with other odds and ends of info that I found in my research. The info provided by Jeff Goodman was of great help in putting Myron’s later days as the last old time pulp publisher in focus.
Myron (March 29, 1926 – September 14, 2006) grew up in Brownsville, a section of Brooklyn, NY, his father was an orthodox Jewish immigrant that worked in the sewers of N.Y.C. for the WPA (Work Projects Administration).
Myron first gained attention with his drawing skills early on, but during WWII his talent and “ideas” got him Public Relations jobs. After the war––starting about 1948 until the Comics Code Authority was implimented in 1955––Myron Fass got work drawing pre-code western, crime, horror, romance and jungle girl comics, illustrating many of the covers, as well as stories. Companies such as Atlas, Trojan, Gleason, Toby, and others paid for his artwork to use in diverse titles like Tales of Horror, Adventures Into Terror, Astonishing, Uncanny Tales, Great Lover Romances, Black Diamond Western, Crime Smashers, Western Crime Busters, Atomic Spy Cases, etc. It was after the Comics Code Authority took effect in the mid-fifties that Myron started his publishing odyssey.
He was greatly influenced and inspired by Mad’s William M. Gaines and his maverick approach to publishing, particularly the fact that Gaines had turned Mad into a magazine format in 1955 to escape the control of the newly formed Comics Code Authority.
This led Myron to find backing for Lunatickle, the “Lunatic’s Home Companion,” which was one of the earliest Mad imitators and Myron was its editor. Other contributors included Joe Kubert, Russ Heath and Theodore S. Hecht (who was later the editor for Stanley Publications horror story mags Adventures In Horror and Horror Stories). Lunatickle’s first satire filled issue was published in 1956 by Whitestone Publishing, a subsidiary of Fawcett Publishing. Whitestone also published the scandal and satire mags Cockeyed, SHHH, Cuckoo, and Exposed which was their longest running title. Myron said of Lunatickle “(it) sold a million first issue, was dead by the third.” The third issue never materialized, only two issues were published. Myron used the "Cockeyed" theme in 1976 wit
1948 Cadillac Series 62 Saoutchik 3-position drophead
Some of the most flamboyant, and expensive coachwork ever to come out of France was created, or caused to be, by expatriate russian cabinet maker Jacques Saoutchik.
Although firmly established before the beginning of world war I, it was not until the twenties that Saoutchik rose above most of his contemporaries. After WWII, more lavish and flamboyant designs were built by Saoutchik. In 1948, noted New York city furrier Louis Ritter commissioned Saoutchik to execute a special convertible on a Cadillac chassis. The car was completed in time to be displayed at the Paris salon of 1949. The car stole the show and after having it shipped back to New York, he drove it to California. Ritter used the car around Beverly Hills for a number of months and then, as usual, offered the car for sale.
