He struck a note with the baby boomers as they grew up in the '50's and '60's and '70's. Having enjoyed his magazines over the years, Bill Schelly's new book goes behind the scenes and presents a fully explored biography of the man behind the magazines. Warren's business practices, artistic attitude and general outlook on life as he went from the bottom to the top to the bottom again is well presented. So many photos of people contemporaneous with the time that have never been seen before really add a special note to the book which is, appropriately, visually rich with art, photos and more. Bill's prose flows smoothly and his style and subject matter keeps the reader going and going until suddenly the book ends. This is definitely Bill's best book yet, IMHO. Congratulations to Bill and thank you to all the people that opened up their life stories and information that related to James Warren, a very unique and complex character. Any person who enjoys the history of comic books and magazines from this era and the behind-the-scenes business machinations is in for a treat.

Bill Schelly has done yeoman service to his material and I stand in awe at his research skills, but his writing is often awkward and perplexing and, to say the least, inelegant; and whomever copy edited EMPIRE OF MONSTERS ( if indeed, there WAS a copy editor) let plenty of misspellings, poorly-worded paragraphs, and typos get by.But even with these few faults, I wouldn't have missed EMPIRE OF MONSTERS for the world. It's a real gift to anyone who ever thrilled to an issue of CREEPY, leered at VAMPIRELLA, or groaned at the awful puns of Forrest J. Ackerman in FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND.Schelly says that Jim Warren is writing an autobiography. He'll have to work hard to surpass the picaresque tales contained in EMPIRE OF MONSTERS. But then, I guess we shouldn't worry: it seems Jim never had any problem making stuff up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully written and designed *by I***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019* This is a great book on a legendary figure in pop culture of the 60s and 70s-- to many of us Boomer kids Famous Monsters was our gateway to classic monsters and more. Creepy and Eerie were Monster Comics when there was a drought of them and all of this thanks to James Warren. Warren also introduced many of us to Will Eisner's SPIRIT which was innovative in the 40s and nearly forgotten when he reprinted them. All brilliant work.The book is well researched, entertaining and loaded with photos and illustrations-- this is a terrific read and if you love the spirit of the old Warren Magazines you'll dig this.Schelly keeps the text moving and you'll be rooting for Jimmy throughout the ups and downs of his publishing empire.Highest recommendation! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/120812152-james-warren-empire-of-monsters-the-man-behind-creepy-vampirella](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/120812152-james-warren-empire-of-monsters-the-man-behind-creepy-vampirella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
