Cryptids on Fate
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 9th, 2007
Steve Klein’s complete gallery of Fate Magazine covers can be found here. This all-encompassing collection of Fate covers has many that feature Bigfoot, Nessie, Yeti, and other cryptozoological subjects, including a Skunk Ape, apparently.
Klein’s work (and our notice of it) continues the look – visually and graphically – at the popular cultural impact of Fate, which was recently noted by Mark Frauenfelder at Boing Boing.
Needless to say, many of these covers are cryptozoological in nature, but most are not.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I must say, I wish my artistic talent went past line art and into painting and coloration.
R. Crumb is soooo very popular. Over a million people viewed the linked variation on our Bigfoot-covers-on-old-Fates blog that was posted over at Boing Boing.
